1 I have a beige G3 desktop 233mhz with 512M ram that has an ATI chipset on
2 the motherboard and an ATI chipset in a PCI VGA card (which the monitor is
3 attached to). When I use xorgconfig I have to use fbdev as the ati choice
4 will not work on testing. This gives me a 1280x1024 screen which works well
5 on a 17” monitor, but the colors are all wrong.

9 When I use Xorg –configure I get a working configuration with the ati
10 driver, but the screen is (maybe) 640x480 and that’s it. I’ve tried merging
11 the two files in every combination I can think of, and am not getting
12 anywhere.
