So, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'm trying to install Xfree on my system at
work. If I don't comment out the clocks line, the system goes to black and
white and hangs (reset button time). If I do comment out the clocks line, I
get the following:
no SIOCGIFCONF
XFree86 Version 1.0Ya / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
ATI BIOS Information Block:
Signature code: 31 = VGA WONDER
Chip version: 5 = ATI 28800-5
BIOS version: 0.1
Byte at offset 0x42 = 0x11
Byte at offset 0x44 = 0x4c
This video adapter is a: VGA WONDER PLUS (V6)
Amount of RAM on video adapter: 1024k
ATI driver requires "clocks" to be set in Xconfig!
*** None of the configured devices was detected.***
Fatal server error:
no screens found
giving up.
xinit: Invalid argument (errno 22): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Can someone help? My Xconfig file is posted below.
Feel free to flame away. I'll take any input. Thanks in advance.

# These aren't very good choices as the refresh rates are 59 Hz and 57 Hz,
# respectively. They were created while testing the driver and were intended
# to be as true to the standard VGA modes as possible (as I was trying to
# follow the programming examples in the ATI Programmer's Ref. Manual, to get
# something working, which I could use as a base). 640x480 should be identical
# to ATI mode 62h. 800x600 uses the same clock as mode 63h, but the values
# were computed using Chin Fang's tutorial (working backwards with a 36 Mhz
# clock and a visual resolution of 800x600).
