Hey Kevin-
Grab them from http://khendricks.ivey.uwo.ca/rage128pro/
I will post source soon as soon as I get the Xfree 4.0 working with this card.
Overall, an excellent patch. I don't have words to express how much better the
video is :-)
The Xpmac.special and/or the aty128fb.c patch seem to have some console
weirdness. It seems to clobber the saved text when you switch from X back to the
console (I assume it's a weirdness w/ the vram...but that's a total guess :) )
I just noticed that it happens if you type a few characters in the console, and
then hit the delete key.
Also, it takes an awfuly long time to switch b/w X and the console (although
I assume that has to do w/ the different vmodes..)
Hoping perfection will come soon

Hi Nelson,

Not bad for 1 line! ;-)
Thank Ben H. for pointing me at the MacOS Display Name Registry 1.1
program. Without it I could never have gotten the MacOS timing stuff.

weirdness. It seems to clobber the saved text when you switch from X back

Huh, I can't recreate this on my machine. Perhaps I do not understand
exactly what I should be doing to get the problem to appear.
Please, can you give me detailed step by step instructions of how to make
the problem appear. Sorry to be dense here but if I can't recreate it I
can't fix it!!!
Also, it takes an awfuly long time to switch b/w X and the console (although

I haven't noticed that either but I will run some timing tests against my
working B+E G3 at home and see what is up!
Hoping perfection will come soon

So do I!
Take care,
Kevin

Well most of the weirdness seems to have gone away (I suppose playing w/ the
different X servers seems to have created it), but still, when I fire up Xpmac,
anything that is in a console vt gets blacked out. (eg. if you fire up Xpmac, and
switch to vt 3, the login text is gone)
