I have an ATI VGA Wonder and I have no trouble using it in 800x600 16 colors mode under X11R3 Version 1.1 (386/ix 2.02) However 1024x768 is not supported. I think that my problem is that there are several versions of the ATI VGA card and the version I have is not supported under X11R3 ISC version 1.1. The next release X11R3 ver 1.2 is suppose to fix this. It boggles my brain a little bit that changes where made to the board that make it incompatible with previous versions. The next release of ISC X11R3 is due out around the end of this month. -- // Mark M. Fisher // fish@gemed.ge.com // uunet!crdgw1!gemed!fish // sun!sunbrew!gemed!fish
