Summary: My FreBSD 1.0 Hangs trying to Probe for Clocks on My ATI Graphics Ultra Pro
Keywords: X XFree86 Mach32 ATI Pro FreeBSD

I have recently installed FreeBSD 1.0 from the CD-ROM Release.  I am trying
to configure X for my ATI Graphics Ultra Pro, and have had 0% luck.

I tried using X -probeonly as described in the intallation notes, but this only hangs 
the machine.  So I tired a small set of the known clocks ( I got this from the 
diagnostic program under DOS), and the machine still hangs

If anyone has a good Xconfig file for the Mach32 server, and/or can give me
some good advice on getting X up and running, please send E-mail to

rell@csi.compuserve.com

or send a follow-up to this message.

NOTE: Do NOT Send E-Mail to the return address in the message header,  It won't get
through.
