## 2.1 Diamond Viper VLB

All Viper VLB's should work with this server, hopefully… :-) Due to Diamond's putting the same BIOS in some Viper VLB's as are used in Viper PCI's, the probe may detect you have a Viper PCI when you really have a Viper VLB. If this happens, put `chipset "vipervlb"` into your `XF86Config` file.

## 2.2 Diamond Viper PCI

This should now work, thanks to help from Bob Hollinger and Matt Thomas. You may to specify the chipset `"viperpci"` in your `XF86Config` file. You'll also need to specify an `IOBase` and a `memBase`. These values may be obtained by running the `scanpci` program available via anonymous ftp from ftp.xfree86.org:/pub/XFree86/3.1.1/ScanPCI Part of the output of this program will look like:

    pci slot at 0xce00, vendor 0x100e device 0x9001
     Diamond Viper/PCI
      STATUS    0x0400  COMMAND 0x0003
      CLASS     0x03 0x00 0x00  REVISION 0x03
      BASE0     0xa0000000  addr 0xa0000000  MEM
      BASE1     0x0000e001  addr 0x0000e000  I/O
      BASEROM   0xff800000  addr 0xff800000  not-decode-enabled

In this case, you would specify `0xe000` as the `IOBase` and `0xa0000000` as the `memBase`.

Eventually we would like to autodetect the `IOBase` and `memBase`, but this doesn't yet work.
