XFree86 and ATI Mach64 Graphics Pro Turbo

Post by orm.. » Tue, 13 Aug 1996 04:00:00



I can get XFree86 to run in SVGA mode fine but when I try the
accelerated MACH64 server it puts up a white box which is
slightly smaller than full screen and has some black hatching
in it. Trying to switch video modes does nothing. C-A-Bksp gets
me out okay.

I have a ATI Mach64 Graphics Pro Turbo.

Anyone else have experience with this card or perhaps a idea
of what I can try to get it working full bore?

 Theres an on board bios from which you set monitors
& disply types. Check documentation & software that came with the card.

youll need to set the monitor from dos. That may or may not be your
problem.

    Use the latest beta of XFree86, 3.1.2E.

1. Problem: ATI Mach64 Graphics Turbo Pro 2Mb (PCI)

Hi,

I don't have much success getting X running. I get a blank
screen when I start X.

Machine configuration:
1) ATI PCI Mach64 Graphics Turbo Pro with 2Mb RAM
2) Linux kernel version 1.2.1
3) XFree86 version 3.1.1

When I look at /proc/pci, this graphics adaptor is not there.
Running "dmesg" reports that "unknown PCI device". "scanpci"
reports that there is an ATI device.

Others say that it may due to the RAMDAC on the board. In DOS,
DAC type is set to "internal". I have no idea what kind RAMDAC
is on this particular adaptor.

I appreciate your help and advice. Thanks.
