I installed cooker (Aug 29) on a machine I threw together with some
spare parts hoping to make it into a test box.
It has an ATI All-in-wonder PRO agp card in it, driving a Samsung
SyncMaster 570 V Flat panel display. XFdrake is not able to come up
with a working config. I tried modifying the XF86Config-4 to try and
get it working with no luck.
Redhat Beta Null had an X that ran fine with this config (16bit color.
1024x768). Using the same details from the Redhat XF86Config, X won't
work correctly with cooker.
What happens is X comes up, the left half of the screen is okay, but the
right half is flipped (right to left) and blurry.
with the test screen the the left half of the rainbow screen is perfect
and you the Yes/No dialog box is cut in the middle with the left half OK
and "Yes" readable. The right half of the dialog is pushed all the way
over to the right edge and is not readable, the rainbow lines are also
blurry and not synced correctly.
I've Attached the XF86Config produced by redhat null. But I think this
problem lies with the ati driver.
(Nice to have the list back from the dead, I sent a similar message on
Friday but its lost is space somewhere)
