Subject: [suse-axp] Problems with ATI RagePro and Voodoo3 resolved

    I resolved the problems with getting the ATI Xpert98 (RagePro)
    and the 3DFX Voodoo3 setup with SaX2 on an XP1000.

    The trick is to use xf86config4 to configure the cards *and* install
    the 3.3 X related RPMs. I don't know *why* the older 3.3 modules
    are required, but without them I could not get X to start. It seems
    that one of the 3.3 packages contains the X wrapper needed for
    startx to work properly.

    I now have these cards working well. Unfortunately, 3D acceleration
    is not supported on the Voodoo3 because the glide package is not
    included for Alpha.

    I'm now much happier with SuSE 7.1 but I think SaX2 needs a bit
    of work. It's buggy and should have more intelligence in detecting
    which packages are needed for a working X configuration.

    Good job with XawTV too! It worked out of the box after running
    the v4l setup tool.
