"I have a new PC, with an ATI Expert 98 card. It's an 8mb ATI RAGE AGP card, so I'd hoped the ATI driver would work properly with it.
The ATI Expert 98 does not work properly with the ATI driver in mv. :(
Apparently it's not exactly the same as the other RAGE based cards? The ASIC is the RAGE XL, ID is 474D.
In mv, the ATI driver is automatically chosen. But the vbeline modes appear strange - they have entire columns missing.
For example, choosing pc_31.5_304x228x16, about 4 or 5 pixel columns of the letter 'o' in the work 'clock' is missing. The rest of the disaply iscorrect.
Choosing pc_31.5_320x240x16, the whole display is shown, BUT there is an extra column of maybe 6 pixels on the right side of the grid.
Choosing pc_mult60_432x324x16, there are many pixel columns missing!
Basically it seems like the ATI driver works, but the Expert98 cards need some slight changes. Can you please take a look at this issue for me? I would be very appreciative. Let me know if you need any further information about the card. Thank you."
