Help: config file for ATI Video Expression/ViewSonic 17GS

Post by Howard H » Sun, 27 Oct 1996 04:00:00



Sorry if it is a FAQ.

I've tried to setup X with my video card and monitor with no success.
Could anyone tell me how to setup XF86Config file for:
ATI Video Expression and
ViewSonic 17GS monitor

I've tried to use ATI Expression to no success.

Thanks a lot!

Try this: It's my XF86Config and it works with an ATI Mach64 and a MAG
17S-Monitor.

1. ATI Video Xpression and Viewsonic 17GS

I will be given a new monitor and PCI graphics card for my
Linux PC.  The card is:
ATI Video Xpression (Mach64 chipset), and
the monitor is:
Viewsonic 17GS (17 inch)

While I have used Linux for the last 3.5 years, I have never
installed X11, but would like to do so at this point.
I understand that Mach64 chipset is supported by XFree86. Does
anyone have any negative comments on this particular card,
monitor, or combination?

Thanks,
Ashok
