		 Hi,
		   
		       Is there any version support the onboard ATI -
Rage XL?
		       Is there any version support a add-on ATI - Rage
XL?
		       Do I need to change something in the
configuration file?

		Please get the Etherboot 5.2.6.
		 
		You need to use patch for 2.4.22 and only enable ati
rage xl framebuffer.

		Great, It solved the problem.
		About the etherboot I try to run with 5.2.6 version as
you said (enable BTEXT) and It is not working.
		It stack in:  Jumping to LinuxBIOS
		When I use the 5.2.5 version that you sent me before It
work.
		Command: Make bin/r8169.zelf
		 
		Now the elf image is loading and there is no respond
from the VGA.. 
		The kernel parameter is: console=tty0.
		Maybe I didn't patch the kernel with the correct patch
file.
		Where can I get the patch of the kernel supporting ATI
Ragexl?
		 I am using 2.4.24 kernel version.
		 
		Thanks,
		Sagiv

		I have this definition in targets/tyan/s2850/Config.lb:
		option CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
		Not default as you wrote.
		Is it ok? 
		 
		Should I had the same thing in
src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb?

		You need to add
		 
		uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT
		 
		default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
		 
		dir /drivers/ati/ragexl
		 
		after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios after vga
init.
		 
		You also need to enable the btext in Etherboot. You
should use Etherboot 5.2.6. it includes filo and btext console.
		 
		About kernel, you need to use kernel patch to enable
ragexl frame buffer support.

		Hello, 
		      I am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is
running with console.
		      I add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200"
and I have linux which runs with console.
		      
		How can I run with VGA? Should I add some code to the
bios? 
		 
		      The VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.
