Hi,

I've just installed Red Hat Linux 5.0 on my machine but I can't get XFree86
to work.
My video card is ATI 3D Rage Pro and my monitor Sony CPD-220VS. (When I run
Xconfigurator my card does not appear in the list of cards supported, but
my monitor
does.)

I've tried both the Mach64 and SVGA servers, and have fooled quite a bit
around with
the Config file to no avail. Somehow, running X -probeonly cannot figure
out my
dot-clocks, so I'm not sure how to fill in the correct Modelines.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help from any of you who may have been able to
get X
running with the ATI 3D Rage Pro card.

Thanks in advance,
Babak

Thanks Tim! I downloaded the Mach64 driver from
http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.htm and everything
now works like a charm. Their driver supports the
ATI 3D Rage Pro card and that's all that was needed.

Thanks again,
Babak
