Made a
mistake in the list below. The LCD panel is non-interlaced. I was
reminded of that when I was doing a hack install of Mandrake 8.0/beta3 on a
spare partition. It didn't find the card/screen combo either so I had to
set it manually. That's when I realized my blunder in my last
post.

I am
using an ATI XPert98 with an AOpen 15" LCD monitor. I used the simple
install and it did not detect my video card what I did was
(1)
apt-get install xserver-mach64 (I am assuming that the ATI 3D RAGE PRO
is mach 64 based)
(2)
XF86Setup
card = ATI XPert 98
mode=16bpp
This
was the configuration then got me to X, so I suspect that you would need to
change the card to your ATI card and I would hope things would work. If
you "simple" install went like mine then you need to load the mach64 xserver
first.

I have a ATI 3D RAGE LT PRO that
is driving a flat panel monitor, I cant seem to find any video
settings that work with this hardware? has anyone used something
similar? the refresh rate is static at 60hz and uses resolutions
1024x768 800x600 640x480. also is it advisable to use 32bit color, or
should I just stick with 256 colors?
any ideas would be
helpful.....oh, I installed using the simple install could that be a
problem?
thanks,
james
