XFREE86 Install

A couple of days ago I downloaded Bigslack from
Slackware. I went to run the Setup and It won't
support any video modes I give it. I have a Dell
E77Os Monitor and an ATI rage 128 pro Graphics
card. I would greatly appreciate any tips or
config files. Thanks!

Try installing as a standard vga with 640x480 and 16 colors.
Then later run XF86config and try doing the setup by hand I've
run into places where XF86Setup didn't work. You may also want to
check and see if your video card is sharing any IRQ's.

Still no luck
When I run XF86Setup and choose
no for the "use XF86Config for default" it goes
into Graphics mode..and gives the error
"Sync. out of Range" I tried to do it all manually
but it still didn't work! Grrrr!
