I've got a problem with the Mach64 X server. I have a Dell Optiplex 466/MX
with 16 MB RAM and a 1 GB HD. It has a built in video board that has been
disabled and has an ATI Graphics Pro Turbo ISA video board with 2MB installed.
Here's the problem. I can get X to start up with the SVGA server, but when
I try to use the Mach64 accelerated drivers, I get a blank screen. When I
start up X using the Mach64 server, the xinit process seems to hang. And
the screen stays blank, even after killing off the startx and the xinit
process after telneting in. The only way to get the screen to come back is
to restart the box.
Any ideas? SVGA is ok, but it's slow and limited. I'd really like to use
the accelerated drivers.
TIA.
