Has anyone figured out how to find the capabilities of the
ATI rage cards or built in video that you find in a lot of
old boxes (Dell optiplex gx1 for example)?  A stock fedora
install only lets you go to 1152x864 when even the low end
4 Meg versions should do 1280x1024 and if they have 8 megs
they should go up to 1600x1200 in 16 bit depth.  I've only
been able to get the higher resolutions by manually editing
xorg.conf and they sometimes work and sometimes don't, probably
depending on whether it has 8 megs of ram.  What happened to
good old Superprobe?
