Do a dmesg, you should see something like: aty128fb: detected XCLK=0x2711, ref_div=0x23 aty128fb: Rage128 RE (PCI) [chip rev 0x2] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1) Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Different bits of hex and location, but you get the idea..) > > Double check this in dmesg tho.
