Hi, I'm new to Linux. I just installed suse 10.1 on my old laptop, Armada M700 and found the display problem. It's like the top part of the screen is shown at the bottom. I tried to change the resolution, monitor and frequency around but couldn't get it to work. The VGA card is ATI 3D Rage P/M Moility AGP 2x.
Which driver are you using? Even though it says "Rage Mobility" it is actually a Mach64 (at least it was on my m700), which can be problematic in Linux. If I remember correctly I used the r128 driver. However, that was SUSE 9.3, and I see in 10.1 there is a r128 and r128old in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers - not sure what the difference is. Either ways, if you really want to make it work very nicely, try to get GATOS drivers going. Again, I'm not sure what the current situation is, but a couple of years ago that was the only way to get those cards to function 100%, especially if you had the All-In-Wonder models.
