1. What X server are you using? I checked the list of supported cards at
http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html and the "ATI 3D Rage" isn't listed,
though several other "ATI 3D" cards are (all using the Mach64 server). You
need to consider the possibility that you are using an unsupported card and
will need to get an experimental server from someplace other than XFree86 or
your distribution CD ... or try to fall back to the SVGA or VGA16 server.

2. If you run startx as "startx -probeonly >xerrors 2>&1", does startx
report anything useful (in the file xerrors)?

3. What are the basics of your setup? What Linux distribution? Which
version? What version of XFree86?

After using the Xconifigurator to try other possiblities i have had no
results other than a black screen after using the startx command. Any help
would be much appreciated.
