Re: [[newbie] Video Probs! Help]
are you trying to tell me that because I have that TV out part on my ATI graphics card, that I can't even use the GUI? I don't care if I get one color in the gUI, I just want to be able to use it. Is there any support for my ATI card so that I can use the gui? let me know? neil - Original Message - From: Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 4:52 AM Subject: Re: [[newbie] Video Probs!

Looking at the XFree86.org website, it seems to indicate that many of the RAGE products are also "Mach64" products. It won't hurt to try. John

I used xf86config to setup up my ATI RAge Fury 32 meg AGP w/ TV Out. However it didn't work and I can't get into the GUI because it says FATAL ERROR. No Screens Found. I put it to generic mono color and I put it to the advanced color and neither worked. I have a 17" EZC Monitor that can handle up to 1280 X 1024 in windows. If anybody has an idea as to which video card driver I should use in the xfconfig setup program please tell me what to do. I tried a couple of the ATI drivers and the generic driver too. Nothing works, and I'm getting frustrated. thanks neil

More from the ATI site: Linux / XFree86 Developments While ATI does not develop Linux or XFree86 drivers for its graphics cards in house, we actively support 3rd party developers that provide driver support for the majority of ATI products. ATI Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce the following developments in Linux support. Software that provides the basic functionality for the ATI TV Tuner products is now available to end users, from http://www.core.binghamton.edu/~insomnia/gatos/. ATI has the necessary hardware and programming information for Rage 128 TV Tuner software development. Drivers for the Rage LT Pro are currently in development by the XFree86 Project. ATI provided the necessary hardware and programming information to the XFree86 Project in order to expedite this project. The Rage 128 2D driver is being developed by the XFree86 Project. If you wish to assist in developing drivers for ATI products, join the XFree86 Project as a Developer (information provided at http://www.xfree86.org). ATI Developer Relations is not responsible for the contents of any third party web sites, or the software you might find there.
