All, I've figured out that there isn't a bios problem, etc. with my XVR-100 cards, the problem is that the the console text gets munged booting 5.8-release, 5.9-release or 6.0-current.
Does anyone have a working system with an XVR-100 card that they would be willing to directly email me their /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from? I'm completely hitting a wall here and would appreciate the help. Thanks, Bryan
