Very Computer

If anyone has set up xwindows to work properly with an ATI 3D Rage Pro
(English) (Directx) and a Dell UltraScan model D1025TM monitor, I
would appreciate your advice.

Running under RedHat 5.0, using Xconfigurator,  for the video card I
choose Mach64. If I select a Dell monitor, xwindows comes up but
garbles the screen. If I choose Custom and set V & H rates as
indicated in the manual for Deflection Frequency, I can an OUT OF SCAN
RANGE msg and the machine dies.

Thanks in advance

Doesn't anyone read these posts.  You need to be using X*3.3.2 rather
than the old X*3.3.1 that came with the OUT-OF-DATE RH5.0.  Also do
yourself a favor and use the Xfree86 setup program xf86config (after
updating your X packages of course.)

You took the words out of my mouth.

3.3.2 does NOT work with ATI 3D rage pro properly.

All you get with this on the ATI 3D is a grey screen and X cursor.
Waste of time downloading it.
