           Summary: Cannot run at 16bpp with 1024x480 (as with XFree86)
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/ATI Rage128
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tim at birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie


Sony C1VFK Picturebook (notebook) under Fedora-2 
Video board: ATI Rage Mobility P/M (Mach 128) 
This ran at 1024x480 with 16bpp under Fedora-1 (XFree86) 
but it does not appear possible to attain this now. 
It runs OK at 1024x480 with 8bpp; 
but when run with 16bpp one gets a large black oval 
which shrinks to leave a blank white or cream screen. 
There seem to be no errors reported in Xorg.0.log . 
One can escape to text mode (with Ctrl-Alt-F1). 
 
Several people have reported this failure, 
and no-one seems to have found a solution.
