Subject: ATI Mach 64 (2.4.0-test12)

Hello,

I have problems with the ATI Mach 64 (Rage 2) video card. After a boot, I
get just a blank screen with a few vertical lines, but the system boots up
normally beacuse I can reboot the machine anyway. I don't get a sigle
error in compiling.

I didn't noticed the 'ATI Mach64 display support' which is in the 2.2*. I
am booting with bzdisk, if it matters.

Thanks for all the help.

Regards, Rok Pergarec from Slovenia.

Try configuring just standard 'VGA text console' and disabling 'Video mode
selection support'. Don't configure any special ATI choices either (or frame
buffering), and see if it boots up then. The Mach64 should have standard VGA
capabilities and should be compatible with every other vga card on bootup.

If it still doesn't work, send me your /usr/src/linux/.config file so I can see
what you have configured.

Regards,
Byron
