Hi! Finanly I got my ATI PRO graphics board working with XFree-1.2.
Answers were given by Volker Paepcke (vepaepck@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de),
Marc Wandschneider (storm@cs.mcgill.ca) and Mike Miscevic
(mike.miscevic@sheridanc.on.ca). The solution is to copy the binary file:
sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov: /pub/386bsd/incoming/XBSD8514-0.1.Z
and put it in the /usr/X386 directory and change the X link to point to this
file. All the fonts should be decompressed and mkfontdir should be run again.
The Xconfig file that I am using (there are others that I did not try)
is as follows:
#
# some nice paths, to avoid conflicts with other X-servers
#
RGBPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"

I hope this helps. If it doesn't, please write to Volker, as I'll
be leaving for my deserved holydays....
Thanks all for the help!
Mauro!
