Mine is supposed to be supported (ATI Mach64), but it doesn't work with
the ati driver in Xfree (don't know why - maybe I'll search someday...)
It works fine with the "generic" and non accelerated "fbdev" driver.
You could try something like this in your XF86Config-4 file : I've just
replace ati with fbdev in the Graphic device section (as seen on this
list) :
# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Mach64 VT (264VT)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "fbdev"
# Clock lines
If you encounter problems with your keyboard, that's probably a "linux
keycodes or mac keycodes" problem. Mine is the mac french keymap and it
maps well with linux keycodes in X (and is screwed up with mac
keycodes). But I have to use french PC-105 keymap in console, because
the mac french one is then unsuable (but is perfect if I run the kernel
with mac keycodes).
