Hello all,

I have an Asus F7400 laptop, which has the ATI Rage Pro LT graphics
chipset...  I cannot get Xfree to work with this card...

I have tried some of the Linux XConfig files out there... none of which
work...  Most of these seem to include a kernel patch also, so can't be
applied to Freebsd...

I can't see enough of the screen to allow me to log in, and run the vid
tune prog...  As far as I can tell, after I enter my  user ID and
password, it goes off and does something for a couple of seconds, then
puts me back at the log in prompt.

So does anyone know of a fix for this?  Is anyone looking at this
chipset already?

Is support for this chipset likely in Xfree 3.3.3.4?  I know it is not
mentioned on the xfree site...

If not, where do I need to start in creating one?...  Put simply, I am a
programmer with plenty of commercial Unix experience, but mainly client
server programming, and absolutely no X programming knowledge...  So is
there any information, or clues anyone can point me at that would be
relevant?  Oh and I am new to FreeBSD...

I get the impression I will need to do a lot of digging on this one...

cheers

Matt
