Hrmmm... still no luck. I'm trying to use a Riva TNT2 Ultra card, but
obviously in 6.0 there's no support for it. So I've tried a variety of
options, from just the plain TNT to Unsupported Cards. I'm also using
a Gateway Cystalscan 17" monitor. When I run startx, the screen is
still way too big. If I Ctrl-alt-bspace back out, it shows that it is
putting it in 320x204??? Crazy. I've tried everything from 16 color
VGA all the way up, and still can't seem to find the right combination.
Anyone have any bright ideas?
