I can't quite get X configured; at best, I get a clear image on the
left half or so of the screen, and that same image repeated another
time or two, often less clearly, on the right side. (Does this imply
a bad horiz sync value?)
The box is an eMachines etower 333k, which means it has an ATI Rage IIc
video card. SuperProbe (Version 2.20 (17 June 1999)) says:
First video: Super-VGA
Chipset: ATI 264GT-IIc (3D Rage IIc) (Port Probed)
Memory: 4096 Kbytes
RAMDAC: ATI Mach64 integrated 15/16/24/32-bit DAC w/clock
(with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))
(programmable for 6/8-bit wide lookup tables)
Attached graphics coprocessor:
Chipset: ATI Mach64
Memory: 4096 Kbytes
The monitor, of course, has no manual, because it's a hand-me-down.
Front says "Gateway2000" and "Vivitron"; on the back, "Model CPD-GF250T"
and the fact that it was manufactured in 1997 in Tijuana :-) (In the
past, when using other equally-undocumented monitors, I've been able to
figure out the OEM, and get the specs from them, but no go on this one.)
Suggestions?
P.S. For completeness' sake, I'm including a recently-generated
XF86Config, but it's so bad that I would not encourage anyone to try
to debug -- just tell me what to tell XF86Setup or xf86config :-}
