Why don't you get Xfree86 1.2? I had the same problem with xv under Xfree86
1.0Ya, but now it works fine both in color and mono. Thanks to the people who
are working on Xfree86! Now even my ATI VGA Wonder Plus works fine in
color.
BTW, why don't they support ATI in X386mono? I am using 'gvga' mode,
but I can't get it work in 800x600 mode. Somehow, the X386mono doesn't
recognize the clock speeds correctly. Even though I am using clock 36 for
color, I can't use it for mono. Any ideas?
