Sorry, I didn't understand this. According the documentation on XFree86 4.0 at their
site, there is only one server, called XFree86, which has various drivers.
There is a driver called ATI which supports Mach64 Rage Mobility, but without
acceleration. XFree86 3.3.6 ATI driver for SVGA server does this as well.
If you are talking about 3.3.6 Mach64 server, then yes, it recognizes this
videochip/card, but it requires completely different X video mode settings
(synchronisation). If I start it with a mode of the patched 3.3.5 server, I get either
flashing screen or dualized picture. I don't want to experiment much with settings,
because I haven't found any examples of 1400x1050 settings and I don't want to damage my
display.
So, is the documentation wrong or you are using another server? What video settings?
Thanks,
Konstantin.
