Q.F23- How do I get XFree86 to work with my new ATI card?
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about XFree86First, you need to get the XFree86 3.3.5 Mach64 server if you don't already have it. It should automatically detect the ATI chips available up to the time of its release (July 1999), except for all Rage128 cards (like the Fury). See below for Rage128 support. One exception from this is the Rage Pro LT chipset, as the server doesn't support the LCD with that chipset. A fix for this problem is known and will be included in XFree86-3.3.5.
