Symptom: Hercules Terminator 128/3D 8MB AGP card - problems with configuration

When trying to configure this card, various difficulties may be encountered.

Cause:

This card is not fully supported by XFree 3.3.6 or XFree 4.0

Solution:

Use the Frame Buffer method as outlined in this article.

However, on the test machine it proved necessary to use vga=791 at the boot prompt. It was also necessary to edit the XF86Config file by hand as explained there, as SaX would not run correctly using the SVGA server from XFree86 3.3.6.
