Just got around to looking at xorg.conf and the card in it is the Rage
128 with r128 as the selected driver. However, when I attempt to
compile in r128 support, I get a blank screen and have to boot up to
either a kernel with Radeon support built-in or I have to build r128
support as a module. Does anyone have a working kernel with r128
support built-in or knows what I have to do to get a working kernel
with r128 support built-into the kernel?
You should not need to take any extra steps to compile in support for an
ATI r128 based video card when installing FC3 or FC2. The card should
be detected during installation of FC3 and the appropriate X.org driver
installed. My ATI Radeon 7000 video card was detected and appropriate
support included along with the rest of FC2 when I installed the system
from distribution CD isos.
