Category Listing:  How can I get X to work with ATI All-in-wonder card?

Issue

I've tried in RH4.2 and 5.0, using a variety of config tools, both X and 
Metro x, to start the X Server using the ATI All-in-Wonder card. Has 
anyone been able to do this or have a working XF86Config file for 
this c ard. The monitor is a Sony 17SEII. Any help would be 
appreciated 

Response

I had success in a round the bout way by installing the latest 
ATI Mach64 accelerated Xserver from the XSuSe Linux project. They 
give detailed instructions on how to install the server and etc. 
I was having a horrible time configuring my xserver, but after 
this installed, I just used the startx command instead of X and 
was able to get the GUI running fine.
