This seems to be necessary to get Xorg working with the ATI Rage Mobility P/M "card" on my Sony C1VFK Picturebook. (I had DefaultDepth set to 24 under FC-1, and this worked perfectly.) > I'm guessing that you've only got 256 colours (8 bit depth).

Someone suggested dropping the "dri" option, but I just tried that and it had no effect. If anyone is running Xorg with ATI Rage Mobility I would very much like to hear from them. There seems to me to be a fault in the "ati" driver, which will only work with 256 colours as I said, though it seems unlikely to me that this has anything to do with my Mozilla problem. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
