9.1 and ATI Rage 128 Pro
I've got Linux installed on my comp. The only problem is a lack of a GUI, because my graphics card isn't supported. When we tried VGA, it didn't work either. I'v got the 9.1 PPC CDs, brought from Mandrake, so nothing wrong there. Anyone know a solution? -- Mike http://yomcat.geek.nz http://www.nztuatara.com

Anyone know a solution? fbdev is normally the fallback when a specific driver doesn't work on an Apple machine. I thought I had r128 so that it would setup properly. In that specific case, it has been: Driver ati and then Option UseFBDev true -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft
Re: 9.1 and ATI Rage 128 Pro
More details would be appreciated... Computer model, monitor resolution, what you have tried up to now... Anyway, for what is worth, here's my config for a ATI rage128 MOBILITY. The thing with the r128 is that you must specify the use of the fbdev. Section Device Identifier device1 VendorName ATI BoardName ATI Rage 128 Mobility Driver r128 BusID PCI:0:16:0 Option DPMS Option ForcePCIMode true Option UseFBDev true Option UseCCEFor2D false EndSection (...) Hint: see the line Option ...UseFBDev true... ? That's probably the solution. You can also remplace r128 with fbdev if it's not working. Hope it helps.
