Re: Will ATI 3D Rage chips work with XFree86?
FYI, I am running an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV 8meg card (3D Rage II-based) and it works very nicely (although the TV output doesn't yet work under Linux.)

XFree86 3.3 should be available in `unstable' real soon now, as soon as Mark Eichin feels it's right. - Hari -- Raja R Harinath -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When all else fails, read the instructions." -- Cahn's Axiom "Our policy is, when in doubt, do the right thing." -- Roy L Ash -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Will ATI 3D Rage chips work with XFree86?
I wondered if the D3 Rage chip set boards would work with XFree86. They are supposed to be quite hot and someone offered to trade me a Wincharge for one even up. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
