    You are right - I'm using ATI Mach64 3D Rage Pro :)
    I'm getting 1024x768x16bit color on Slack 3.9, so it should
    also be available on newer Xserver in Slack 7.1.

    I personally recommend to download x1/xset.tgz (600kb)
    and install. It will install XF86Setup - a GRAPHIC tool to set
    proper XF86Config. It's graphic and typical users find 
    it more useful than text-based xf86config.
    
    _THE_MOST_ IMPORTANT during configuring XF86Config
    is to know parameters of your monitor. Monitor sync rates:
    horizontal and vertical.
    
    Mine for Samsung SyncMaster 152s LCD are:
      HorizSync       30-61 
      VertRefresh     56-75
    
    Setting with XF86Setup is quite easy:
    
    After running it will ask you for switching to graphical mode
    (vga16 has to be installed). Agree. It should be nice if you
    have a mouse - but as if you have ATI 3D Rage Pro, you probably
    have a ps/2 mouse and Celeron based machine.
    Click on "Card" and choose "ATI Mach64 3D Rage Pro" (click on it).
    Click on "Monitor" and type _your_monitor_ parameters.
    (Mine can do till 75Hz)
    Click on "Mode selection". Click on "1024x768". Click on "16bpp"
    Click on "Done", Click on "Okay".
    
    XF86Setup will now switch to "1024x768" mode, if you see nothing
    or sth messy - your monitor parameters are not proper.
    
    Enjoy
