Actually, the documentation I maintain states:
"The driver currently supports the SuperVGA capabilities of all ATI
adapter except some early Mach8 and Mach32 adapters that do not provide
the required functionality. This support works for monochrome, 16-colour
and 256-colour video modes, if one of the following ATI graphics
controller chips is present:
VGAWonder series: 18800, 18800-1, 28800-2, 28800-4, 28800-5, 28800-6
Mach32 series: 68800-3, 68800-6, 68800AX, 68800LX
Mach64 series: 88800GX-C, 88800GX-D, 88800GX-E, 88800GX-F,
88800CX, 264CT, 264ET, 264VT, 264GT (3D Rage),
264VT-B, 264VT3, 264VT4, 264GT-B (3D Rage II), 3D
Rage IIc, 3D Rage Pro, 3D Rage LT, 3D Rage LT Pro,
3D Rage XL, 3D Rage XC, 3D Rage Mobility
(including the -M and -P variants)
The driver also supports 32K, 64K and 16M-colour modes on the 264xT and 3D
Rage series of adapters using the accelerator CRTC (but not the VGA
CRTC)."
The GX is not a 264xT, nor a 3D Rage, ergo...
