ATI 3D RAGE PRO to X-win.....

We have purchased a copy of RedHat 5.0 Linux and wish to install the
system on an ASUS P2L97A AGP motherboard running a Pentium II 266 CPU.
The motherboard has an ATI 3D RAGE Graphics Accelerator on board with 4
MB of 64-bit SGRAM.  However, we have been able to get neither the
Metro-X nor the Xfree86 running.  Did anyone encounter a similar
situation and how you solve the problem?  Any lead would be highly
appreciated.

Try downloading this file and unzipping it to replace the Xmach64 file
that shipped with RH 5.

Here's the link...

Good Luck!!!

extensive web search, I came up with the following which worked (Put this
in your XF86Config file under the "Device" section):

ChipID 0x4754
ChipRev 0x01

I found this tidbit of information at
http://www.angelfire.com/ca/rchau/patch.html

I don't know if this will help, but good luck!
