I was using the ATI AIW 128 Pro AGP(32 MB) when I first started using XFree86, and what worked for me was to use Driver "r128" in XF86Config. You'll also probably want to build the drm module (if it hasn't been done already). There are a couple of places to look for specific info on XFree86 and these cards: http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/ati.html http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ # Enhanced XFree86 drivers for ATI cards http://www.xig.com/ # Enhanced, non-free Xfree86 drivers I hope this helps you, and that you have good luck with the card. I think getting the "advanced" features of the card to work will be tricky, but it should be an alright card. -- Best Regards, Joshua Lokken OMIC Portland Branch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (503)807-6538 _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
