The problem is that there are different "Mobility" chipsets. Some are supported by the r128 dri driver, others only work with mach64. IMHO, the rage mobility-P is only supported by the mach64 driver. Check your documentation for the true name (with '-P', '-LM', whatever...)
How do you know if your card is supported by r128? Try it! If X doesn't start, check the logs, and you will probably see some error about no device or screen is accessable. Note: some cards are called rage 128 mobility cards. other cards are supported but don't have 128 written all over it. experiment! greetings, Alex Ps. i envy you, want to trade cards? ;) On Thu, 2001-10-18 at 13:24, Michael Robinson wrote: > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WAARSCHUWING: Uw mailbox is groter dan 15 Megabyte.
