heeeelllllllllllpppppp!

I'm having to do this from crashware ... ack, cough, hurl...

My trusty old S3 trio 64+ video card had a fit the other night and
stopped working, OK, I said, just throw in this riva tnt2 with 32m of
memory and see how it goes...
well, here I am .. you guessed it, yep, the old x server won't work on
this card problem.

I tried using ./xf86config and fed it all the guff under the sun and
checked that the output ends up in the config file, which it does, but
still no joy, does anyone have any pointers on how to set a video card
up under linux without having to go to re-installation of the system,
for a start, where the hell is superprobe?

This is under linux mandrake 7.2, on an AMD k2 500 with 256m RAM, 'Pine'
PT5988 Riva TNT 2 AGPx4 video card. It seems to fall over at line 48,
sorry I can't show it here as it is not accessible from my crashware
drive, the permissioning system is damn good except in these
circumstance../..

tia anyone
