I have a paradise 64 video card with 1 meg memory (which is not on the
list of cards the setup program provides).  I tried to use generic
settings from the shell script setup, I would just get the upper left
corner of the desktop blown up on my screen (my mouse wouldn't move off my
physical screen though).  The visual xsetup tool displays properly, except
after it attempts to start the server it gives me the blowup again.  I
don't really need 1 inch high letters and a terminal window I can't see
all of.  I have tried various resolutions, and none of them seem to be any
different.
