16 I have a 9600 which is working with the attached XF86Config-4 file, perhaps
17 that will drop in and work for you. Changing to 15 bit color was one of the
18 important parts if I recall correctly, and it took a longgg time to get it to
19 go at all. Good Luck.

21 If that doesnt work, send the output of
22 # lspci -v
23 and a copy of your config
24
25 And If anyone knows how to fix a screen where the image is bleeding off the
26 edges of the monitor by about 20 pixels in each direction, I'd appreciate
27 some help immensely.
