Hi, > Mach64 cards aren't supported on Alpha,
Are you sure? I've been using Linux with my Alpha since two years and more. At the very beginning, I had an ATI card and X worked perfectly with RedHat 5.3. Now, I am writting this message under X with SuSE 7.0 an another ATI card. But, much more important, it also WORKS THIS THE DEBIAN 2.2r3 when I start it with the original kernel 2.2.18pre. The problem I have is only when I start with the 2.4.12. > Did this card work on SuSE and, if so, > what Xserver where they using? The Mach64 driver. > FYI, SuSE released some binary-only That's possible, but when I do rpm -qi xmach64, I see: Source RPM: xf86_3x-3.3.6-85.src.rpm so I think the source is available. > Xservers a while back which we never packaged on Debian simply because > they appeared to be one-shot releases with no sign of updates since. I fully agree with this policy, that is another reason why I would be so happy to use the Debian. If you need other informations, please ask them to me, I really would like to solve this problem. Thank you in advance. Fabrice Haberer-Proust
