ATI rage xl.init

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
It happens that I can use the frame buffer functions on my ATI Rage
128 without much of a hassle. In fact that's the native mode of the
video card. (And this is on a native BIOS, not the subject of the
group.)

Without breaking your NDA, could you enlighten the group regarding how
you are going about the enabling of this ATI card? And where did you
find the details for the frame buffer modes for this ATI video card?
Were they provided that way? If so, then I don't need to know.
