Enough of the LindowsOS talk, lets back to the purpose of this mailing list,
I just installed, or upgraded my ASUS CUR DLS board with the ATI RADEON 32MB (PCI version). I purchased this card because I was very impressed with ATI's performance from the a rather old card made in 1996 the 3D PRO PC/TV. I needed better performance in the TV out side for putting together a box for dumping high quality NTSC/PAL to a television set. First problem: no PAL support in the video BIOS:( Second Problem: I discovered how terrible ATI's driver support is for Windows. This was fixed with a downloaded update. Third and final problem: When I rebooted into Linux (SuSE7.0) and tried to re configure with sax2 the best video support I can get is standard VGA at 16:( Running sax2 at pro level I see that I have two Video cards show up at PCI address 00:5:?? and 00:7:??, the first is listed as unknown standard VGA, the only one I can configure with sax2, and the other is my new ATI card (RADEON). Attempts to configure this one are un-successful. Now I know that the first is not the on board video chip's as those are disabled in BIOS. Has anyone any suggestions or am I to pull down the Latest XFree86-4.0.?? from suse through my 33.6k modem:( to get this to work? Or, even better, return my video card and go thru this mess with a different piece of hardware?
BTW I get the same info on Video controllers after running lspci, cool util...

FYI- I configured an ATI RADEON with SuSE 7.3 (XFree86 4.1.0) which has better support for this card. You can get SuSE ready version at: http://www.suse.com/us/support/download/xfree86/index.html Unfortunately the X Server would not properly work when I enabled 3D support. Good Luck, PCHintz
