Do you know the specs? You could add them to the Monitor database so sax2 gets it right to start with. Also, if the boot screens are not visible, which are using frame buffer mode, you need to replace the vga= line in your grub menu.lst. What do you have there? You can pass this on boot also, i.e. vga=ask, or vga=0x31a (which is 1280x1024x64k, check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt if you have kernel sources installed). What is your monitor? I think your monitor is not well supported automatically is more your problem than your video card. > I can edit the 10.3 xrog.conf file from my 10.2 install, but I don't > know what to change to make this card feed something my monitor can > handle.

If you want, i can send you my xorg.conf, but since they are not exactly the same, it could only be a reference, which I'm sure you have already.
