Having trouble with X Free 86 and the integrated ATI AGP video card on a
new Dell Optiplex G1 system (Pentium II 266). Had fun blasting NT off
system at work to make box into Linux machine. Problems came with the X11
install portion. Metro-X doesn't work (screen is scrambled when it
displays the graphics config). X-Free 86 doesn't work either for ATI or
standard SVGA/VGA settings. Has any one played with this card? Would hate
to turn it back into a windoze machine. I hope the integrated chip doesn't
have a special driver since it comes in a Dell system.

Onboard video works fine with RH5.1 -- running two GX1 400 here.
Use Mach64 server. BTW, the onboard 3c905B requires 3c59x.c version 0.99E.

The Rage Pro is supported in the latest Metro-X, can't say about XFree. I
had problems with the AGP cards locking my system(s) up hard. To fix that,
I used `Option "xaa_no_color_exp"' in the Device section of the config file
and no more problems.

Good luck.
