The documentation is not up to date. Marc La France (ATI driver author) now uses a module/submodule arrangement. "ati" is the module you should reference in your config file. It will then load the submodule it needs (at present, r128 for Rage 128 chips, radeon for Radeons, and atimisc for Mach32, Mach64, and Rage chips). > This just caused some headaches and I realize you might not > know anything about it, but it seems odd the errors only show up > when using "r128" even though from the 4.0.2 Release notes, this > should still work. Yeah, but apparently it doesn't. At least not always. -- G. Branden Robinson | America is at that awkward stage.
