I have just tried to get accelerated X going on this chip today, 
without success so far.

VendorName is not necessary. "ati" is definitely the driver to use. I 
would have thought that you would need BusID uncommented. Find out 
what it is by running lspci (part of pciutils). lspci gives hex 
values, enter them in decimal in the config file.

I missed the earlier part of the thread. What are you getting in X so 
far? My X is totally messed up, screen goes crazy when I startx. 
Anybody got this one working? The composite_sync on/off switch that 
finally worked for me on a Rage Pro (not LT), has not done me good 
here.

I've never had luck with Xconfigurator. Robert's suggestions are 
humorous, and actually useful if want to write it from scratch :-) 
And no, we're not looking for miracles, just a screen to use.

Back on topic, I prefer Xautoconfig4.
