The video card i have tried :
S3 Trio64V
Trident TGUI9680
S3 ViRGE/DX
Then I ask the Freescale support, they tell me that these board can op=erate in 5V slot only, While the PCI slot on Lite5200 only offers 3.3V.

tcwang@163.net first of all, you need to take care of the PCI cards you use. As the Freesc= ale support and=20 also the manuals say: "Only 3.3V compliant PCI cards". In the meantime ther= e are quite a lot of burned-out boards because of "wrong" cards. Next problem with the PCI bus on this board is, that because of some timing= issues not all=20 cards will be detected, so it'll be hard to find a video card, that matches= these requirements. The only card that I know, which seems to work AND is somehow supported is = a CORAL-P evaluation=20 board from Fujitsu. But this one is rather expensive.=20 I tried also and old Nvidia Riva 128 card, which was detected correctly, bu= t is not initialized correctly by the framebuffer driver.
