Hello I have an ATI AIW 128 pro AGP, 32 megs, with the Rage Pro chip, SuSE 7.0 had no problems setting it up for use. I did run across some minor trouble with Sax2 though. It would not allow the card to work properly for some unknown reason, to me. To get around this problem i used Sax1 to set the resolutions as I wished and saved them. Then I relaunched Sax2 and loaded the prior information for the card then when i ran into the problems with the setup of the card i shut Sax2 down. I do not have any problems with the ATI card otherwise. It works beautifully. On Wednesday 03 January 2001 16:48, you wrote:
well first of all I want to thanks all the replys I had for my inquiry, eveno thos of you who as a solution wrote something like get another video card..... I have tried everything, and nothing has worked, not even tried to reinstall the OS, the ATI AIW 128 pro AGP, 32 megs, with the Rage Pro chip, just can not be used under linux... not under suse 6.4 with the kernel ver it has and the xfree ver it has, wich I do not know wich ver is it, just the suse 6.4 with all the standard settings it has, the box distribution with 6 CD ROM inside. well anyway I have just one more question : will suse 7.0 the box distribution, the one with all those CD ROMS inside, handle this video card???? with out changes, with out having to download a patch from the net and a new ver of this and that so it may work, I want to know if it will work with just what the box has inside, will it? if not with distribution of linux may take my video card, thanks a lot in advance, cheers

That makes it a Rage Pro chip right? I'm not sure it's even supported. I'm not even sure it will be supported. The new Xfree4.02 lists Radeon support but doesn't mention the pro chip. ATI is currently out sourcing the writing of drivers for it's cards. Thats good in one way but it means if they skip a card then it's worse. The orginal Rage 128 had it's driver written by SuSE but since then ATI has taken things over.
