Hi guys,
I just purchased an ATI PCI Graphics Xpression card, and am not having
success in getting it to work with X. X -probeonly produces a bunch of 0's
for the dot clocks, and can't detect the Ramdac. I found the following
post in comp.os.linux.x:

I know I have the internal RAMDAC, so I'm wondering -- are we running
XF86-3.1.2D?
Thanks,
Eric
