I received some fine suggestions recently (such as below). SVGA didn't
work under XFREE 4.0. For some reason I didn't see the driver get
installed and the XFREE 4.0 binaries didn't seem to have it there.
Tonight I'm thinking of trying the source (downloaded that also) or
switching to XFree 3.3.6. Going to be interesting as I never installed
pre XFree 4.0 before.
Anyway, if any other suggestions I would really appreciate it.
This is the last time I purchase an ATI...
Man they suck. GEForce or Voodoo 3 from now on!!
Thx again all

Did you try the generic SVGA? I had to use it on a Dell box with rage
chip set.
