It seems to be a ATI Rage Prog Mach 64 based graphics card.
It all depends on which card you are using for the console (/dev/fb0). You might have to explicitely tell it which one to use. "cat /proc/fb" should tell you what cards were detected and what framebuffer device each is attached to. If you want to use the builtin mach64, then link /dev/fb to /dev/fbn where 'n' is the number next to that device in /proc/fb. For the Creator card you can use the xserver-xsun24 package. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
