Okay...I've been stuck with a Gateway Pentium.  It's sort of a great machine :)
However, I'm having problems getting things to work.   I'm hoping someone else 
has already solved, or knows how to solve the following problems/questions:

1) When I install X with the ATI Mach64 GX, I get shadows.  The VGA16 driver 
works great, and the SVGA driver only shows 320x200.  Does anyone have an 
XF86Config file for the ATI Mach64 GX with the Vivtron 1776 monitor?

2) The sound board is not compatible with anything :)  That's what I've been 
told.  It claims compatibility with about a half-dozen sound cards that are 
all mentioned in the LINT kernel, but none of them recognize the board.  I 
have the same problem with NT.  Am I S.O.L. for now?
