One bug and a some configuration information for those with tvga8900C
based SVGA boards and monitors that do only 31.5 and 35.5KHz sweeps...

The bug is that XFree86 barfs with the font path with the path
".../Speedo" in it since it isn't there with the distribution for 386BSD,
at least.  The second thing folks may want to see is the clocks I could
get from the 8900C and the settings at the end of the file for the monitor
that worked.  The monitor is some strange SVGA clone with the moniker of
"EYE-Q" on the front.  It claims a dot pitch of .28 and looks pretty good
with the 808x606 mode I spec'ed for it.  Since my board has 1meg-o-memory,
I went for the virtual of 1024x1024.

Hope this helps someone.  It took me a while to figure it out. :-)
