This little -gem- is not supported by XFree86 because of the magic-secret Diamond holds on setting the dot clock (maintained through a reign of terror). Has -anyone- written a program to set the dot clock on this card? I have seen several such utilities posted with Linux groups, but they don't work with FreeBSD or 386BSD (NetNSD unknown) ... at least I can't get them to work. If you do have one, -please- share ... -please- -please- -please- -please- -please- -please- -please- -please- Jim P.S. Hints on how to write my own are also appreciated -very- much.
