Ati Rage XL 8mb PCI video card.

Hi.

I have this video card but fails with this xserver or drivers.
lspci
05:06.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Rage XL (rev 27) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

The error is ever "out of range" "Frequency not supported" with two different screens.
What is the way to make it work?

Tnx.

"out of range" "Frequency not supported" are monitor errors, not graphic card, you need a monitor that can do 48Hz, as it is the default frequency on old graphic cards.
You can also modify the xorg.conf to set the default at 60Hz, but it is hard to do without the monitor actually showing something.
If you are using Ubuntu 10.04, it tends to do that a lot on older hardware, so get wheezy iso and give it a try, chances are it will work.
Regards,
Tom

Finally i entered in recovery mode and created a new xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ with the content:
