I saw in the Web site that the Compaq driver for Xfree86 has a bug in
it, but it does not say what that bug is.  I have been asked to install
it on a Compaq Deskpro.  I get the video to start to display, but then
it looks like it isn't syncing in the right place.

Has anybody figured out a working combination of driver and sync/clock
settings?  I would appreciate any feed back you may have.

I also would like a description of the bug in the existing Compaq
driver.

Thanks.
