I have just got my ati All-In-Wonder 128 Pro AGP with 32 megs to work. It
uses the rage chip. I have version 7 and i had to install the xfree 4.02
version to get it to work.
What i would like to know is why can a company like XIG make a set of
drivers that work right away. Just 2 files to install and it worked fine
the first time.

uses the rage chip. I have version 7 and i had to install the xfree 4.02
version to get it to work.
What i would like to know is why can a company like XIG make a set of
drivers that work right away. Just 2 files to install and it worked fine
the first time.
