ATI 3D Xpression RAGE II setup on REDHAT 4.2

Post by Ray Garce » Tue, 18 Nov 1997 04:00:00



Help!
I just upgraded my video card to an ATI 3D Xpression RAGE II chip
and I've re-run Xconfiguraturator and I've tried customizing the XF86Config
file to suit my monitor and video card settings but I can't get X server to
start on RedHat 4.2.

I have an ADI Microscan 5P+ monitor.  It worked with my Expertcolor S3
Trio/64 card
great!  Now I have a more (SUPPOSEDLY) standard video card and I doesn't
work
at all?

I've downloaded the patch for the XF86_Mach32 server from the www.linux.org
site without any change.

Does anyone have any suggestions???

Thanks

Ray

....

Try Mach_64 server with version 3.3.1 (I can't remember the correct
version number, but the most recent one) instead of Mach_32 server.

The last version doesn't work correctly for ATI card with so called
'RAGE' chip set.

Also if your card is able to display TV, do not connect cable line or
antenna into the connector of the card while running Linux.
