Fedora 18 with ATI Mach64?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Trying to install Fedora 18 on an older motherboard that has video 
built-in using an ATI Mach64.  

Install seemed to go thru fine, and login screen is fine, but then 
after logging in I got the top bar and side ICONs seem to work 
fine, but if background image seems to be half width, and 
magenta. Can bring up system settings, and then display, but 
have to use keys since the mouse position isn't matching. Screen 
is showing as LAPTOP, and it originally shows a 2000+ x 1024 
screen, but then options only showed 1024x768 and 800x400. 
Selecting either and applying gives the box if image is ok, but it is 
diagonal?

Found that the xorg driver for mach64 was not installed, so 
installed it. No difference.

Ran Xorg -configure, which I had tried earlier, but it only came up 
with a 640x480 screen. This time, the little round icon comes up in 
the lower right corner a few times, and then machine completely 
locks and requires a hard power off.

Motherboard doesn't have agp slots, so putting a different video 
card isn't really an option. Have tried using vnc to connect, but it is 
just coming up with an OPPS screen.

Thanks.
