No, the Rage LT Pro uses a different Xserver.
See: http://www.basiclinux.com.ru/xvesa.html

xma64.tgz for the ATI RAGE IIc (emachine) and PRO LT (Presario). The SVGA server loaded, but crashed on exit, when booted via DOS.

I need to boot with LILO anyway or svgalib won't work either, so I will stick with Xvesa for the Compaq Presario. Maybe LILO will also fix the Emachine video problems with Xvesa crashing when I switch VTs.

ATI is supposed to need a special setup for svgalib, but it works fine booted with LILO.

Cheers,
Steven
