Hi,
I've got Red Hat 6.0 install on my pc. I've installed an ATI Rage 128 vidoe card
and found out real quick that xfree86 3.3.3.1 does not support it.
I've downloaded xfree86 3.3.6 which supports Rage 128.
I've followed the RELNOTES instructions to the letter. This is found at
ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc21/RELNOTES.
Couple of questions arise here:- 1) Which is the actual server that supports
this card?
2) Is it server mach-64? since this I can not find the
answer too.
After running the install and restarting it did not work.
Also at a closer look at location
ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/fixes/fix-01-r128 tells that i have do the
following:-
7 February 2000
This patch fixes a text corruption problem that shows up with the
Rage 128 driver in 3.3.6. To use this patch you need either the
XFree86 source tree or the LinkKit. This patch cannot be used to
patch binaries directly. Updated binaries for most platforms should
be available soon.
To apply the patch to the XFree86 source tree, go the directory containing
the main "xc" directory, and run:
patch -p0 -E < this-file

Could someone please explain in simple terms what this is meant to be doing,
since its way above my knowledge?
After thought....
Is this source code for the card?
If so what do I do with it?
Thank you
