And here's the XF86Config I use with XF86-3.1.2[DE] on my TI 5200, at 800x600.
The trick to make that work is to disable the "MS DOS Display Expanded Mode"
option, either from the BIOS setup, or the TI Setup program under Windows.
This config file doesn't work at 640x480 and, further, when X exits it doesn't
restore the chipset for displaying plain text. Hence, once X has been run,
you can't work at the plain "console" interface anymore.
