Re: [PLUG] Darwin Question

[LeRoy Cressy <leroy@lrcressy.com>]

Depending on the version of X you are running ATI Rage 128 runs on 
version 4 in the svga driver.  If you are using version 3 then SUSE has 
a driver on their web site for the xrage driver.  If you are running 
Debian I have made a deb file of the driver.  Write me if you want it.

Also, you will need to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file
