Hello every one
I'd like to thank the guys who tried to help. I just wanted to tell every one
that I'm running my Xwindows at 32 bit
& 1024x768. So if you are using SVGA server because you have LT Rage Pro just go
to
website.lineone.net/~a.rix/rh6-solo9150.html and follow the link to down load
the new Mach64 server.
replace with the one you have , run XConfigurator and let probe the card, now it
will get the right values and it
will work just perfect.
Regards,,,,,,,,,,,
