Re: Support for ATI XPERT 2000 under Debian 2.1r4??

[Torrey Peacock <cybertori@home.com>]

I have the XPert2000 Pro, and it is working fine with X.  The Rage 128 
chipset has been supported in XFree86 since version 3.3.6, so it is 
definitely compatible with "potato" Debian.  On my system, I could not use 
the XF86Setup utility successfully. I used xf86config instead, selected the 
SVGA server, and did *not* probe.  For the "Pro" cards (like mine), you 
need to add an extra line to the /etc/X11/XF86Config file - find the entry 
for your card in the "Device" section, and add "ChipId 0x5246."  This is 
described on David St.Clair's helpful Web site:
