- If you don't have a tvg8900c card then X probably won't work. Also, it has to
- have a Trident chipset version of 0x13. My X server tells me this, but this
- is a beta one thats prints out more information that the standard.
-
- Look at your video card to make sure its an 8900C, and double check the
- clock settings you are giving X to use. It should always come in 640x480x256
- anyhows using clock 25.
