Hi,

Did you try Xconfigurator yet? Try to use this to setup your display card, monitor, resolution, and test it with the Test Again option.

Besides, which linux distribution you are using? I'll suggest get Linux Mandrake 7.2 for hardware compatible and easy to setup.

Hope this help.

Bye.

I have the same video card and loaded Mandrake 7.2. I get display errors although the driver list for X does allow for the ATI Mobility chipset. I do not know at this stage if the problem is with my display panel or video card. I can get it working with VMWARE under Windows 2000 using the VMWARE emulation driver.

I suggest check out www.xfree86.org for the latest versions of X and see if that helps.

Good luck
