However; there seems to be a flaw in the way that the ported window managers use this. I have seen many reports of display problems. I posted the following and am still hacking away. If anyone has success I would expect them to share. Please help -- I Installed the XFree86 3.3.6 software in hopes of using my ATI Rage 128. The previous release would not work at all for this card. The good news is that the server starts and initially appears to work. However when I startx to KDE 1.1.1 or Windowmaker any windows ie. term, netscape, config etc. contain bar code instead of text also when windows are moved the section at the top flickers when moving over another window. Sometimes text does show but is destroyed upon window movement. Note -- The XFree86 3.3.6 software and KDE 1.1.1 or Windowmaker work fine with my old Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3).
