here's the problem i installed slackware 9.0 and i can't get my
graphic card working...

I can startx with the default XF86Config-vesa
but when i try to use the driver's it supposed to use
the screen goes blank right after startx

My graphic's card is the
Rage Fury 128 pro - With TV-out
Boardname "Rage 128 RF/SG AGP"

Im using the KDE Virtual Sensations 195e
-30-95KHz Horizontal
-50-160Hz Vertical

I tried doing a X -configure it generated me this file
hope it can help..., also included XFree86.0.log after this file.
Thanx

==================================

thanx again (B)

I have a Rage 128 pro also...Use the command 'xf86config', select your horiz. and vert syncs, use the ati driver (number 66 i think)....then set your resolution, then select 24k colors, 32k wont start...save it then startx.

Hope this helps if you haven't gotten it yet.

Its a long shot, but try adding the line

DefaultDepth 16

to your XF86Config.... I used this to get a R128 to work once...
good luck, nukkel

Man i have tried it all, for some reason it still hates me...
the default depth and going threw the config.

i have alse took X -configure and tried to merge it with the
files where they have given me so that i could get my monitor
and graphics card at the proper setting's pull have it set to the right depth etc... A bib prob is my moniter like when everthing is specified corectly for some reason it goes below my capeable VF like 49 when my lowest is 50. Even though i specified in XF86Config that it's between 50-160 :S....
it's the combination of my moniter & my graphics card
but i'll keep trying thnax for the help soo far..
and if anyone else has suggestions i'd really appreacite them

thanx again (B)

This is my current try.....
XF86Config...

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally

Backup the old one and try this:
If it's still not working, post the output to:
cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep WW ...and
cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep EE ...instead of the whole file.

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I set you up for 3d acceleration,
make sure your loading your agpgart module, as the warning says.

When you get it loaded correctly and confirm you have dri enabled [...you can use glxinfo], if you wanna try for a little more performance, put
...in Section "Device" just underneath your driver "ati".

And if that's solid, go for agpmode 4.
