Some info which may be relevant: The LT chipset is *not* directly supported in XFree86 3.3.2. I don't know how similar the LT PRO is. Below is a message I sent to comp.windows.x.i386unix after the problem I had with a board with the LT chipset was resolved.

Thanks to the help of Marc Aurele La France, I now have the 3D RAGE LT running smoothly with XF86_Mach64. Points to note: - It runs "out of the box" with the XF86_SVGA driver. I never tried this until it was suggested by Marc Aurele La France, since I "knew" I had a Mach64 type card (and thus should use the XF86_Mach64 driver). - It runs with the XF86_Mach64 driver *if* you insert the following in the "Device" section of the XF86Config file: ChipID 0x4754 ChipRev 0x7 Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
