I have a DELL OPTIPLEX GXa 300 Mhz. and when he buys it the graphic card it came with the ATI 3D RAGE PRO AGP.
Install RedHat Linux 5.0 (Hurricane) and it didn't support this graphic card. Change, momentarily, whit a MATROX MILLENIUM II whit 4Mb that worked perfectly with XFree86.
For the Hurricane List I found out that I could get off the net from <A HREF="http://www.suse.de"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de</A">http://www.suse.de the X Server that gave support to my card.
I download the XSuSe_Mach64 that supports the graphic card ATI 3D RAGE PRO AGP and I have followed the instructions for their installation.
As root: cd / tar xfvzp [PATH_TO_TGZ] / [X-SERVER].tgz tar xfvzp [PATH_TO_TGZ] /xsuseconfig.tgz mkdir -p /var/X11R6/xkb/compiled.
Well, when I run xf86config encounter my graphic card in the list with the n.43 ATI XPERT@PLAY PCI and AGP, 3D RAGE PRO., I install everything (I believe) correctly and when run startx can see XWindows perfectly but with a resolution of 320x200 with the one that I cannot work. When shutdown XWindows whit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE can see:

^^^^ You are using the wrong server, make sure X in /var/lib/X11R6/bin/X is a link to the Mach64 server.
