I have ATI Mach-64 based Rage Mobility (Compaq Presario 1800, 8MB Video RAM)
When my XFS server failed and I tried re-install XF 3.3.6, it is failed.
MACH64 server was not able to put correct synchronization, and I had to
reboot after starting X.
Then I installed XF 4.0.1 from Cooker. Everything works fine. X started in
1024x768 without special handling. Refresh was correct (for my TFT LCD it
should be 60Hz). I used xf86cfg from XF-4.0.1-22mdk.
Even Ctrl+Alt+Keypad"+" ("-")changes resolutions correctly, it was not
working in XF 3.3.6
Xconfigurator, I believe, is _too old_ and should not be used in any case.
Xdrakres utility worked out for me 1024x768 reslotion with 3.3.6. But only
this resolution, nothing more.
Final note: I have LM 7.0 upgraded to LM 7.2 level from Cooker (kernel
2.2.17-22, XF 4.0.1-22mdk, KDE 2.0 compiled from sources, etc.)
