Hello,

I am using an ATI Graphics Xpression vedio card, with 2MB DRAM.
And I check my card. There is a Mach64 chip on it.(CT version)
I am running the 2.0.14 kernel. When I am installing the X
windows with "xf86config" and "startx", the Linux should tell me that I
only have 64K RAM!!! As a result, I cannot get into the X-windows. Even
the "ctrl-alt-BS" doesn't work. I need to shutdown my PC from another PC
telnet-ing back!
I read the HOWTO and know there maybe some problem of the
Mach64 CT version with XFree86 3.1.2. Would you mind tell me what's going
on with the situation and where to get XFree86 3.1.2 B or D,E? I cannot
find it in www.XFree86.org! Thank you very much.

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.1.2E/Linux/Elf
is where you'll find the latest binary, although this binary expires
*REAL* soon (like at the end of this week, I think). There will be
a new version (3.1.2F or 3.2.0) by then.

There is a mach64 server for recent xfree betas (3.1.2E), get that one
and try it.

Why did the mathematician name his dog Cauchy?
Because he left residue at every pole.

You get it at:

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86

The site will be very busy the next week because version 3.1.2E is about
to expire (Aug. 31, 1996).
