Has anyone out there managed to get XFree2.0 working with the ATI
Ultra card? (NOT the ATI Ultra Plus or Ultra Pro, but the vailla 1
Meg Ultra) When I try "startx" my monitor (NEC 4FG) switches modes
and then the server dies (fatal error -- no real explanation other
than the usual "broken pipe" message).
I am trying to get the Ultra working with either the ATI accelerated
driver (1024x768 non-interlace) or 8514/A (also 1024x768
non-interlace). Has anyone done this? Or do I have to settle for
640x480 VGA? (I'd really rather not do that....)
BTW, I am running FreeBSD 1.0.
Thanks...
