Do you have the repeated left side of the screen problem?

Anyways I've found out that the trick with this card and XFree 3.3.3.1 is
to make it look like an older rage so that some of it's features aren't
(mis)used:

Add the following device section to XF86Config and use it for the accel
entry:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Mach64 LG (3D Rage LT)"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    ChipID 0x4754
    ChipRev 0x01
    #VideoRam    2048
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

The Chip thingies do the trick. I found this on the web, so don't ask but
it works for me (tm)

Anyways I also have the url of the webpage which contains this hint if you
want it mail me.

Regards,

Hans

1. Compaq MV 500 Monitor and ATI 3D Rage II LT Pro

I have resolved my serious harddrive problems and have successfully
installed linux.  Now I have moved on to my next problem of configuring my
video card and monitor.

My video card in ATI 3D Rage II LT Pro and my monitor is MV500.  I have
tried every possible configuration using Xconfigurator.  I have even tried
the XF86Config putting in all the information in manually.  However, to no
avail.

The monitor has a horizontal sync rate of 31.5-54
and a Vertical sync rate of 50-90.

No matter what I try I get a black screen everytime I startx.

Does anyone have any suggestions so that I can solve this problem and move
on to bigger and better problems of config my modem and setting up a network
printer. (Oh, so much fun)

Please advise me of any suggestions.

Much Respects and Thanks!!
