Rob,
It's not clear to me exactly what your problem is... sounds like you have
the vesa server working, but you have mouse problems. I can't help you with
that, but I may be able to help you to get the accelerated (r128 driver)
server working (and maybe the mouse problems will go away as a side effect).
First of all, are you using XFree86 4.0 or higher? If so, try the
following:
1. back up all files named XF86Config or XF86Config-4
2. use XConfigurator to create a clean template for you to work from (select
something like ATI Rage 128 (Generic); the tests will fail, but bear with
me)
3. exit XConfigurator, and substitute the following for the device section
in the new XF86Config-4. Note that what you're doing is overriding the
chipset ID.
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Xpert2000"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "ATI Xpert2000"
Chipset "ATI Rage 128 RF (AGP)"
Driver "r128"
Option "AGPMode" "2"
Option "UseCCEFor2D" "true"
VideoRam 32768
EndSection
4. startx; if it works, try changing Option "UseCCEFor2D" to "false", for
improved performance (probably)
5. if it doesn't work, verify that you're using XFree86 version 4 or better,
and send your XF86Config-4, and maybe your logs.
I have a web page on this hack, but unfortunately my pages are down at the
moment. When they come back up, it will be at
http://two.ucdavis.edu/~holland/unix/xpert2000.html.
Good luck,
Matt
