- Last I heard, the 9000 chipset won't work correctly with the current version
- of Xfree86. But good news is, is that it's being worked on from what I hear.

- You might try bringing up X in 640x480 with the 25 clock settings. This mode
- should come up for anyone. Also, specify in Xconfig that your chipset is
- tvga by adding the following line after the vga256 module.

- chipset tvga
