Re: ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2x

[Ron Rademaker]

 Hello!
 I wanna run a ATI 3D Rage PRO AGP 2x in Debian, Ver. 2.1, but it doesn`t
 work...the best result: The screen is repeated 4 times...how can I fix
 that...I had already a look to the XFree86.org FAQ and have searched in the
 debian mailing archive, but I didn`t found anything usable for my 
 graphic-card.
 Who can help me? If you need more information, please let me know!
 
 With kind regards
 Florian

You could try using Potato, it supported my Graphical Card (Viper 770)
where Slink didn't.

Have you tried to use the latest version of XFree86 ( 3.3.6 ) and the
XF86_Mach 64 x- server ?

You may get these at :  http://www.debian.org/~vincent

Put this URI only in /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ xfree-update main

Then,  apt-get update

   apt-get upgrade

   apt-get install xserver-mach64

apt-get clean



Cheers,

This is exactly the case. I have the card mentioned in the original post, and 
it 
works well wih potato. The problem is that this card is not supported in
the X version that comes with slink. It's supported since version 3.3.3.
You can also install a recent version on top of slink if you don't want to
upgrade.
