You need the S3 server and need to uncomment the programmable "clocks" line in the default Xconfig. I'll post my Xconfig below. My apologies to anyone who doesn't like my Xconfig, I really haven't messed with it much, after having gotten it to work. # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the Xconfig(4/5) man page for details about the format of # this file.
