Did you look at both XF86Config and XF86Config-4? I once spent an entire
afternoon trying to get a GeForce DDR to display in 1600x1200, only to find
out I'd been hacking the wrong file...

Subject: [Newbie]Rage Fury Pro


I just totally deleted windows and I'm going linux all the way, I have
redhat 7.1 running with XFree86 4.1.0 that I installed from the ftp site
(not redhat).  I'm running the 2.4.12 kernel and I have the agp option
installed, and support for the rage 128 installed as part of the kernel.
My monitor is a Dell 1726T-HS (H:30-85kHz; V:48-150Hz) which worked on
windows with the Rage fury pro at 1280x1024 with 24bit color and a refresh
in the high 70's, but I don't remember exactly.  Exact specs for the
monitor are available here (http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/dta/97793/1.htm).
I would like to run X with similar settings, because resolution is the
main reason I bought the rage card to begin with.  When I run xf86config,
I put in the frequencies I listed above, selected the ATI Rage 128 driver
(r128, #36), set the video ram to 32MB (32768kb) set the resolution to
1280x1024, default color to 24 bit, and run it, but it always, no matter
what settings I play with comes up with 640x480 at what I can only guess
is 16 bit color.  I can't switch modes, because <ctrl><alt><+> and
<ctrl><alt><-> don't work.  It's seems almost as if X is totally ignoring
my XF86Config altogether.  Anybody have a similar experience and hopefully
a solution?  I really don't want to switch back to windows...

Thanks in advance,
