I never said whether you have XFree 3.3.6 (SuSE 6.4), or if you upgraded to 4.0x. This is for 3.3.6. The ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 128 uses the Rage 128 chip, the same one that is in my Xpert2000 (See www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/xpert2000_pro/index.html and www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/aiw_128_pro/index.html). The driver is therefore XFCom_Rage128. If running XFree86 <4.0, the driver is contained in the xrage.rpm file at ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/X/XFCom/xrage/xrage.rpm. XFCom_Rage128 is placed in /usr/X11R6/bin/. Rename /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA anything else. As root, mv /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.backup. Create a symbolic link to XFCom_Rage128: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Rage128 XF86_SVGA. Logout. Restart X server. Log back in and the proper Xserver is up and running. There is no need to throw rocks at SuSE or ATI. This card (at least the Rage 128 chip) works beautifully with linux. With this driver it is fully supported to Millions of colors (24bpp or 32bpp) up to 1600x1200 resolution, especially with 32 MB. <p>Ed Harrison SuSE 6.4, Kernel 2.2.17, IBM JDK 1.1.8 (20000713) or Warp 4, FP12 or Windows98 (running in vmware 2.0.3 for fun) PolarBarMailer 1.1.19
