Hi Yall & Rob, whom typed.... <snip>
I'm not having much luck getting ATI's firegl drivers to work. I can get X started with the vesa driver but I get some weird artifacts here and there. I wrapped some relevant files in a tarball for anyone who cares to peek at my crappy problem. I don't know enough about X :(
<snip> I have attached my XFree86-4 thang, which works for my 9000 Pro.First off, save a copy of yours some place-that gives you a sucky vesa back up option.
Edit mine, change the monitor section, to your horizontal & vertical values.
You may also wanna change these; "Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"" & remove the higer 1152x864, it works for my 19 inch beastie of a monitor, but may look like crap for yours?
Now, copy mine in where yours is, get out of X & re-type "startx" That might do it. Otherwise, come back to this list for more advise.You may have to manually load & unload some modules too; yes, that will eventually sound worse than it does the first time you read it ;-)
Also, the linux forum's hereabouts are a God (edit in metaphysical framework as & if applicable...) send.
http://www.rage3d.com/board/ Wherein I learnt about loading modules, in the Tuxian section. Yes, it is worth the effort! :-) Xcuse the ramble type type, but it is late down here.... *BFN* Greek Geek :-) The root of all fascism is the lack of a sense of humour - Vanessa Swatzell
