I've got an ATI Xpert@play on SuSE 5.3 (XFree 3.3.2.3), I'm using the XF86_Mach64 server, and KDE as my desktop. The ATI doesn't look too great to me. I get frequent screen glitches (scrambled windows) and most annoying of all when the screensaver kicks in there is a huge white vertical rectangle stuck on top of it with the top of the rectangle positioned just where the mouse pointer is hiding. It isn't affected by my having sw_cursor enabled or disabled in XF86Config. I am running a 1024x768 interlaced display (8514/A compatible monitor) BTW the graphics card lives on an AOpen AX59pro motherboard (Super Socket 7, AGP) Why am I having these problems and there's no mention of similar problems on any newsgroups or mailing lists I've looked at?

I just put an ati exspert@work agp video card in my computer. Do I used the mach64 xservers to get the xwin going. I thought that I had read this on the list here somewhere. This is an 8 mb card, its fast under windows an graphics look great. I would recommend it to anyone as a good agp video card.
Hi Jack,
So you bought one eventually then ;-)
Yes, the mach64 server is the right one for the card. It's just as good under Linux too!
