Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-3
Severity: normal
I've built three new potato systems for others here recently, and could
not use svgatextmode with any of them.
The first had an 8MB ATI Xpert98 card, using the (older) Rage Pro chipset.
The second had a 16MB ATI Xpert128 card, using the Rage 128 chipset.
The third had a 32MB ATI Xpert2000 card, also using the Rage 128 chipset.
/etc/TextConfig does not seem to support any of these presently, and
available tools such as SuperProbe have been of no assistance.
Ironically, a couple of months ago, someone told me she would not switch
to Debian because it did not support her Rage 128 card, although I
believe she was speaking of X11 at that point. Recent experience has
shown me just how significant that deficit in support can be.
Where to turn now?
