Very Computer

Does anyone know of a way to get the ATI XPert 99/2000 Graphics card (Mach64
chipset) to work with Caldera OpenLinux?  If you can show me where to find a
driver, or at least the specs (clock rate, etc.), I'd much appreciate it.
ATI's web page was not very helpful.  Thanks!

I think most distro allow you to install them in text mode.
Go ahead and install the Linux first including GNOME, KDE, both or
whatever you want to run. Just don't configure your video card yet.

If you can get online in terminal mode, download XFree packages then do
the upgrade. What I did was printing out the instruction first. Then, I
download all the packages to a zip disk. After installing a new system,
I got the zip drive working first and install them from the zip drive.

I don't know what distro you are using but that should not matter. I
think there are some bugs in XFree 3.3.6 (with ATI 128). However, I
can't remember where to get the patch... Well, I am still using 3.3.5 so
I did not pay too much attention to that.

Hope this helps.

Alex.
