Subject: Running X with ATI Ultra?
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1992 01:08:46 GMT


Has anyone tried using X with an ATI Ultra card? I know there was some talk
about the Ultra a while back, but I must have missed the important posts. :)

I've now installed Linux v.0.96c and am attempting to set up X11, but when
I run startx, the screen just blanks, and the computer locks up.
Unfortunately, I don't have the manuals for the ATI card - for some reason
I have Diamond SpeedStar Plus manuals instead, so it's not so easy for me
to get the specs for the card, and I must admit I have no idea how to set up
Xconfig. I have a 486/33 with 8MB Ram and a 200MB IDE hard drive, plus the
ATI Ultra (1MB vram) and a Gateway2000 1024ni monitor.
Thanks in adv. for any help!
