hi Marshall,
I had problems with the frame buffer device and FBDev X server using
SuSE 6.0 with my Trio3D graphics card. I could get the frame buffer console
to work, but trying to start X would crash with an error message. Is this
the behavior you are seeing?
My solution was to download the source for the 2.2.4 kernel, compile
it (an interesting learning experience), install it, and try X again. This
solved my problems! I think that the old kernel would only run the frame
buffer at 8 bit color depth, but I am not sure.
Good luck!
Phil

Subject: [SuSE Linux] ATI Rage Fury and SuSE 6.0
I cannot get the ATI Rage Fury to work, I have tried many suggestions
including using the Banshee workaround using the Frame Buffer, but the
Xserver still fails to starts, In the directions it does say that it was
using Xfree 3.3.2, and SusE comes with 3.3.3.
