Now that I managed to get Suse 7.3 sort-of-running with an older kernel (2.4.2), I can't set up XFree86 4 - it only allows me to set up 3, and I swear I had 4 working perfectly well in Suse 7.0. I don't know if this new problem is because of 7.3, or because of the old kernel. My card is a Mach64, and looking at older list messages I saw that there are some problems with it since 7.1, although I didn't manage to find any solutions. my /proc/fb says: 0 ATY Mach64 1 IMS TT (TVP) (The second card is not in use, since it used to have problems under Linux, and as soon as I get a second ethernet card, I'll need the extra PCI slot, so using that card is the less preferred option). If I use "sax2 -a" the "BoardName" line in the resulting is "3D Rage I/II 215GT". The machine is oldworld, and I pass display parameters for the kernel: video=atyfb:vmode:10,cmode:24 Dmesg indicates, in the PCI section: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 00:11.0 got res[10000000:10000fff] for resource 2 of ATI technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT]. I hope any of this information is relevant, and that someone here can tip me off on how to make X v. 4 work. Herouth -- EMAIL: herouth@netvision.net.il HOME PAGE: http://www.herouth.f2s.com/

It is the newer XFree86.

This is wrong, the color depth 24 does not work on some mach64 chips since XFree86 4.1 and it is still unfixed in 4.2. Try cmode:15. Use defaultcolordepth 15 in your /etc/X11/XF86config.
Dmesg indicates, in the PCI section:
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 00:11.0 got res[10000000:10000fff] for resource 2 of ATI technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT].
This should be harmless. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

Doesn't work. X server reports IO Error 104. The log says it caught signal 11. I also noticed that XF86Config decided that the device address was 0:17:0, and since lspci said 0:11.0 I tried either "0:11:0" or "0:11.0", without success. I am becoming very frustrated.

You you send me your /var/log/XFree86.*.log, /etc/X11/XF86Config and the hwinfo output? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
