Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Without that, nobody can help.
everything installed fine, but even with the following in xorg.conf:
driver set to ati defaultdepth to 16 modes "1024x768" "800x600"
it comes up as 640x480
also, i need to exec xterm&
before going into lxde or the cursor doesn't show up.
i've already pacmaned xf86-video-r128 (rage driver) xf86-video-ati (ati driver)
I think some 3D rage cards are not r128, but mach64, so you need to install that too - details will also be visible in the xorg logfile.
