Dear expert,

     I'm a newbie on linux , after I installed the RH5, I need to select
the correct display device for the XFree86, but I can't find my Card at the
selection.

     If I select the ATI Mach64, the screen of my xwindows will display
a lot of snow and the resulotion divided into 3 !!

     How can I solve this. pls urgenly .

When do you get the snow?  After you run startx, or while you're trying to
set it up (using xf86config?)  When I startx (with the Mach64 server on
XFree86 v. 3.3.1-14), it started with purple visual noise and then quickly
progressed into black/white/grey snow.

The only time I my screen divided into thirds was after I upgraded to
version 3.3.2, ran xf86config, and chose the option to use the previous
XF86config setup.  If you'll give more information about what's going on,
your problem will be a lot easier to fix.

I think that card uses the Rage II chipset so chances are that you have to
get XFree64 3.3.2 if you haven't already.

1. ATI Xpert@Play AGP vs. ATI Xpert@Play 98 AGP

Just wondering if anyone out there is using the either of these cards with
RedHat 5.2 or xfree86 3.3.2.  On RH's compatibility list it says the



What I would really like to know is this : is there a difference between

with RH 5.2.  Any suggestions of other relatively cheap (around $50) video
cards that are agp and work with RH 5.2 (out of the box) would be really
appreciated.
