I can not give specific help with the 8500 but I am using a 9600 Pro on
a cooker system.
Using the vesa server at 1280x1024 at 16bps with vga=normal
I have attached my XF86Config-4
The drivers from ATI can be a problem in that the driver you meed to
use is dependent upon your version of XFree And your version of glibc.
The r128 used to be a very well supported 3d card but with each new
release of XFree that support has dwindled.
I can still run it at my normal resolution but I have had to disable dri
to prevent X from constantly freezing.
