I have a ASUS P2b-f MB with a PIII 500 MZ CPU and an ATI Rage 128 GL(AGP) video card with 32Mg of video memory which resides in a AGP slot on the mother board. My monitor is a ViewSonic PS790. When I run Xconfigurator the pci probe finds ATI:Rag 128 GL AGP 1x/2x Xserver :Mach64 When I run the various probes that are done under the setup the program allways comes back with an error even when I try a custom monitor. I have tired the text setup verision and the results are the same. When I try to start X windows I get a list of resolutions which were deleted since they were not valid. I then get the following: Mach64: PCI: unknown ATI(0x5246) rev 0, Aperture@0xe0000000,Registers@0xdf000000,Block I/O @ 0xd800 No screens found Fatal Server error.
The Mach64 does not support the Rage128 chipset. There is currently no support for the Rage128 chipset in XFree86, but there is an additional X server available which has been developed by SuSE and runs perfectly fine on RedHat 6.1. You can find it at the following location: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/X/XFCom/xrage/xrage.rpm ATI has delegated further development of Rage128 support to PrecisionInsight which says Rage128 support will be included from XFree86 3.3.6.
But if I won't to boot and install from CD (RH 6.1) it run Mach64 Xserver and computer freze :(( If i want to install I must copy distribution on HDD(it dosen't run Xserver)and after instalation install Rage128 Xserver -- Isn't there some way to disable starting Graphic instalation from CD ??
assign to xconfigurator
our next release, which includes XFree86 3.3.6, supports the Rage 128 chipset.
