Hi,
I can install XFree86 4.3 by binary. But I can only find 'vga' driver
to work
for my ATI Radeon 9600. I tried both 'vesa' and 'ati' but both with
error
'no screen found. no device driver ...' With 'vga' driver, the
resolution is
formidable '640x480'. Any suggestion for ATI users?
With 5.2-current i386 version, I use 'vesa' as XFree86 version and with
resolution 1280x1024.
Thanks
Bin
