Setting up ATI Rage LT Pro card under XFree86
 
I just recently got a brand new monitor (nice 19 in. too :D). Now I should be able to finally get a decent resolution (i.e. 1600 x 1200 :D). However, I haven't been able to.

I installed FreeBSD the other day to try it out. The XFree86 setup had my card, an old ATI Rage LT Pro, which allowed me to go up to 1600 x 1200 res. I uninstalled FreeBSD today to go back to Linux.

Before I never had to bother reconfiguring my video card, as my monitor sucked so bad I wouldn't be able to tell a difference. I first ran 'xf86config' but only one ATI card showed up. So I decided to update. I managed to update Xfreee86 all by myself the first try. I reran xf86config and to my dismay the ATI Rage LT Pro wasn't listen. I tried using some other drivers in some vein attempt to be able to run at 1600 x 1200 res, but to no avail.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do? I would love to actually be able to multitask without watching everything come tumbling down due to a shoddy OS (aka Windows ;)).

I also am still having trouble with my sound card. The post can be found here if you think you can help.

Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

There is some info on setting up X with your card here.
