I had a real bear of a time configuring my Diamond Speedstar A50 AGP
8Mb card until I downloaded the SUSE version of the XF86_XSVGA file
and used that instead. ALso, I did a search on using the keywords of
the chipset my card has, and found a few people with the same problem,
one of them had actually posted a workaround that he had used, and
when I implemented teh same fix, voila, fixed and fixed.
