Re: iMAC problem: ATI Rage128 Pro TR (AGP) and XFree 4.1.0
Well folks,
I've hacked for some time on the XF-4 config file
and finaly configured the "fbdev", in the right way.
The solution for my problem was to setup the
right H and V Refresh rate in X conf.
Get your refresh rates with:
$ fbset -x
That's all folks.
