Mach 64 server
I have an ATI IIc 3d rage pro video card mach64 with internal Ramdac. I have tried all the mach 64 and ATI servers. Does anyone know of an X sever that will run on this card properly other than SVGA? Also I have always tried to probe clock during setup and it hangs, would selecting dont probe clock help? Or possibly does any one have RH 6 and know of this support with the new distribution i am running 5.2.

Re: Mach 64 server
You need to get the latest version of XFree86, that is 3.3.3.1. Your current version (the one that comes with RHS Linux 5.2 is 3.3.2.X) doesn't support that card. You could have read it on the XFree86 FAQ. "Laporte, Justin" wrote: > I have an ATI IIc 3d rage pro video card mach64 with internal Ramdac. I have > tried all the mach 64 and ATI servers.

RH5.2 uses 2.0.36, I had the same problem and upgarding to 2.2.2 solved mine. I heard that 2.3.0 is out so you should probably use this one.

Agreed. The 2.3.1 not even booted up! ;) [2.3.2 is out but] Stay away from 2.3.x series if you are not a developer, crazy or both! ;) Daniel

I suggest you next time to visit www.suse.de/e and support stuff it is may be useful. You can upgrade XFree with 3.3.3-1.1 but I have more easy solve for 5.2 . Just add next to your /etc/X11/XF86config in device section: ChipId 0x4755 ChipRev 0x01 and don't forget to uncomment memory option. P.S Use mach64 server for this option. Best regards! By!
