	Has anyone succesfully gotten a #9 GXE level 11 card to work with
XFree86 2.1.1?  I just got a new card the other day, and am trying to get it
working with the XF86_S3 server to no avail.  The server recognizes and uses
the pixel multiplexing, the hardware cursor, and the other nice options on the
board, but when X fires up and the monitor syncs, there's a blank screen, at
which point the OS is completely locked.  The machine will no longer respond
to pings, nor will tapping on the NumLock or CapsLock buttons toggle the
lights on and off.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get this combination
working?  If so, how about an Xconfig or two? :-/  Thanks!
