I'm trying to set up a Wedge "Starling" 30M, which uses the ATI Mobility
M3 video chip (identified by Windows as the ATI Rage 128. I believe it
is the Mobility LF (chipid 0x4c46).

I'm installing SuSE v7.0. I've already downloaded and installed XFree
4.0.1, which is supposed to support the Mobility LF. However, SAX won't
run at all, and xconfigurator doesn't have any card options for the Rage
128 or the Mobility chips.

When I start X, the machine freezes with a gray screen. Sometimes I can
get out of X with ctrl-alt-backspace, but sometimes I have to power
down.

Does anyone have a working XF86Config for this chipset, or any sage
advice on what I'm doing wrong?

Sam
