The problem is that I started from scratch building the .config file since the one in /boot was garbage after my initial RH9 install.

Re: xterm problem with ATI Xpert 128 (Rage 128) and Xfree86 3.3.6
The driver I'm using is r128 for XFree86 4.0. It was written and submitted to the Linux community and is part of the XFree86 distribution. I'm using it now with the glide library installed which is required if using their xfree86 -configure command. I ran it just fine without the command however it's not as nice and I had palette problems with NetScape (and ONLY NetScape for some reason). Anyway, Good luck with that issue. ATI really stinks (it shouldn't take a week to install guys!!!) GEForce or Voodoo3 all the way from now on!! P.S. those glide drivers I know are written by 3Dfx Corp. The makers of Voodoo cards. Not sure who wrote the r128 driver but it is GNU or GPL I think Frank www.xmission.com/~dmacleod Ward William E PHDN wrote: > > Mine doesn't even work well under Windows one of the reasons > I'm dreading reinstalling on the system.

As this was my first ATI with XFree86 4.0 I made a few mistakes (should have read the documentation for once!!) I learned what NOT to do :hehehe: Anyway, the Xpert 98 AGP card I am told (by ATI) is the same chipset as the Rage Fury. Works pretty good in Windoze (sorry to say) but under linux you want to use the r128 drivers. Also I just downloaded the glide driver *for linux* from the 3Dfx ftp site. Will be installing it today. Crossing my fingers... I don't think the Mach64 will work with the Xpert card (Haven't tried it though). And I didn't see an SVGA driver for 4.0 (did I miss it??). You can look under lib/modules/drivers. You should see the drivers available. For example the r128_driver.o file is referenced in your config file as r128. (hope I didn't confuse you with all that).

Re: xterm problem with ATI Xpert 128 (Rage 128) and Xfree86 3.3.6
Don't know if this will help. Here are my "recent" experiences with the ATI Rage Fury. I finally got my @#$%^ ATI Rage Fury working with XFree86 4.0. The r128 driver works great (but only in 800x600 @ 256 colors). Other's mentioned you can't run Xconfigurator or XF86Setup (yep, it messes up the config file bad!!! Format has changed). The docs talk about running xfree86 -configure (I think that's the command). It "senses" the ATI and wants to load the glide drivers on top of it.

I use OpenWindows for my X and have zero problems with Xterms. The XFree86 that I have is: XFree86-3.3.5-3 So, I can't explain why you are having trouble.
