Hi all, I'm new to Linux and I purchased Debian 2.2 (potato) a couple of weeks ago. I've been trying to get my ATI AIW - Rage 128 Pro AGP to work, but have been unsuccessful. I've read and tried several tricks from the net, things like "r128" and "ChipID 0x5246".
When I run startx, there's a 2 second pause and the the screen just stays blank, and my monitor goes into suspend mode. I don't think there's a problem with the monitor, because I have all the specs and it's a new one. What's weird is that I've been able to get into X once using XF86_SVGA, and then it just doesn't work anymore. Here's my system specs: - Athlon Thunderbird 750 - Asus A7V - ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro (AGP) 16Meg - Standard PS/2 3-button Logitech mouse & keyboard - Dual boot with loadlin between Win98 and Debian I think I've done the necessary configs, like running xf86config, entering hsync and vsync. I tried all the card types similar to mine. But the choice that worked is not to choose one from the database. I donwloaded XFree 4.0.1 and was about to install it, but someone told me that it's recommended to use .deb packages rather than tarballs from XFree. I guess I'll try to get more info first. Any help? Thanks. Luke
