The original fb driver for ati rage xl has problem. It use mclk=100Mhz, xclk
default is mclk. Actually it should be mclk=83Mhz, and xclk=63Mhz.
So please check the kernel you have built with Normal bios to see if you can
get ouput. I guess you will get bland screen.
Please make use only enable atyfb in kernel.
Also please let me know your kernel version, and I could send you one kernel
patch.

Question about getting the ATI XLrage working...
I tried the new ati/xlrage driver on an arima/hdama. Linuxbios reports:
ati_regbase = 0xfd002400
ati_ragexl_init: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] Devices
initialized
Im then loading the atyfb.o framebuffer kernel module (I assume this is
the right one to use). The screen then does some init and switches to a
video mode the monitor seems happy with, but nothing but lines appear
(much like the lines you get when X doesnt recognize the video right)
Using fbset to change video modes does seem to work, the screen
resolution changes, but I cant use the fbdevice with any frame buffer
test programs or with X (the lines never go away).
Im trying:
(1) to get the framebuffer working as the graphical console, and
(2) get this working under X.
Is there some secret to getting this working? Maybe I am missing an
important step or something....
Also, Im assuming that in order to use the framebuffer as the console, I
can pass "vga = 792" and "video=atyfb:mode:1024x768,font:SUN12x22" to
linux when it boot.
Do I need to set CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1 in Config.lb?
any help is appreciated.
-Regards, Brian
