RAGE XL Framebuffer

[Yanick Quirion]

Hi all

I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the
kernel mailing list.

Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch
the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a
resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the
screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not
work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today.

If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be
appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
