Okay...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There was a thread that I started 4/29/2003 that had to do with monitor problems.
The reason I switched to XFree86 3.x (back in April) was because a HP monitor that I was trying to use (I remember now) (the HP monitor would shut off with XFree 86 4.x, it only ran with versions 3.x).
So, I've scrapped that monitor (well, I changed back to my old monitor now), but I can't get 1024x768 for the resolution. I've tried going through Xf86config three or four times... I can even change the resolution to what I want it to be in the Mandrake Control Center thingy... but when X restarts it goes back to 800x600. I even tried changing the XFree86-4 config file in /etc/X11 by hand.
(All of this just proves how little I know about configuring stuff in linux)...
I'm thinking about getting rid of Mandrake and installing RH tomorrow... Apt get sounds a little easier to use than urpm anyway... Re-installing
Hahahaha! So now apt is more associated with RH (than Debian) and more preferred too =) In your face 'up2date'. =)
Once you get Xfree4.x, you might want to give 'dri' a whirl. AFAIK, the version for the Mach64 chipset (older ATI Rage ?) has some support from the GATOS project too.btw, after getting XFree 4.x to work (albeit at 800x600) I tried running glquake. It works... except it is WAY to slow. At least it works.
Good luck and may many, many, many frames-per-second be with you =)
