You might try the release notes for 3.3.5 at the XFree website. They
might have better information about any problems with using the Cirrus
chipset. XFree is at www.xfree86.org

What do you mean "plain GUI"? You mentioned in an earlier message that
you were going to boot with "linux 3"... that will get you just plain
text mode that doesn't have much to do with video card resolutions at
all.

Well, the monitor only draws what the video card tells it to. I'd look
into deja.com to see if there are any messages from other Cirrus users
that might point out what sorts of problems they've encountered.

Are you comfortable editing /etc/X11/XF86Config? You can set the
correct parameters in that file. Won't make alot of difference until
you get the video card issues sorted out though...
