ATI 3D Rage Pro vx Xfree (and a comment)
I know this can be done, but can't find the answer in the old digests...
Have a Compaq Presario with the ATI 3D Rage Pro card. Installed from CD,
set up X, used the listed Mach64 servers (for the Rage and Rage II) and
X dies with the message that it can't start the server. The VGA setup
comes up fine... Any ideas??
Also, as a public service to other newbies out there: I downloaded the
"Official Debian User's Guide" and referenced it during my last attempt
to install Debian. It worked, but the basic step-by-step stuff wasn't
quite correct (as far as messages and stuff). Great info, though... I
finally found the print version at Borders Books (with the 3 CD's) and
re-installed from that. The book and CD follow each other to the letter
as far as what order everything happens, what it asks and what you
respond... Wonderful job coordinating the two! My only moment of
confusion was in trying to figure out which CD to use - the 1.3 binary
or the Custom / Extras disk!! To all who worked on that -
congratulations on a great product! Best $40 or so I ever spent...
