Hi madbiologist,
What a miracle!
Someone let me know that device driver support is improving!
This is the first time I finally got a Linux developer to pay attention to the bug report I have submitted!
Nice to hear that someone out there is still working on improving hardware support for a 10+ year old hardware on Linux.
I still have quite a few 8 to 10+ year old hardware I picked up from e-waste sites at where I live.
For the most part, the 10+ year old graphics card's performance is still more than good enough for most non-performance critical tasks. (i.e., browsing the Internet on Firefox)
I own about 5 ATI Technologies Rage 128/128 PRO cards, so if anyone needs testing of the newer Rage 128 device driver, I can probably help out on that.
I also own many AGP 1.5V/Universal/3.3V slot mainboards from various chipset vendors (Intel, AMD, SiS, VIA Technologies, NVIDIA) that can be used to make sure that the Rage 128 device driver will work on as many platforms as possible.
Again madbiologist, thanks for letting me know about the development with regard to Rage 128 display device driver.
Regards,
