=======================================================================
Installing the Driver
1. Run the INSTALL program for your ATI video adapter (found on your original
ATI diskette #1) under DOS and check the "Power-Up Configuration" to ensure
that you have selected an appropriate monitor type.
2. Boot the Unix system and login as root in system administration mode. Use
the 'sysadmsh' and media selection to unpack the tar file (ATI SCO Unix
diskette.) This should generate a readme.mach64, mach64.xgi grafinfo file
and XDriver.o on your system.
/readme.mach64
/usr/lib/grafinfo/ati/mach64.xgi
/usr/lib/X11/dyddx/cxm/XDriver.o
3. Run 'mkdev graphics' and select the resolution desired from the ATI MACH64
selection setups. Save this configuration and exit. The system must build
a new kernel to conform to this setup, and the system should be rebooted
after this is complete. This should link /usr/lib/X11/dyddx/cxm/XDriver.o
into the X Server.
Current known problems and limitations
1. The 24/32 bit per pixel modes are not supported.
