Is there a way to use the new Rage Fury card (ATI using the Rage 128
chip) with xfree86?  I have attempted to run X (Mandrake / Red Hat
ver), and have succeeded, but only in 16 color, 640 x 480 mode, which
is almost impossible to use.

Is there any way to use the card in any other mode?  (i.e. driver
compatability with the card)

Please post and mail any replies... Thanks.  mailto:cfreet@eatel.net
