Bought a Vision 771 (PCI 2MB VRAM) yesterday and configured this
evening - I just ran 'xf86config' and tweaked the file manually for
RAMDAC and monitor settings - the RAMDAC info is on the #9 WWW site.
Fired up X and ran 'xvidtune' to tweak the timing and everything
running fine now.
My 'XF86Config' is attached for ref - works for me but no guarantees -
remember all the dire warnings in the XFree docs about knowing what you
are doing and checking settings
Currently running on a crummy 48K 1048x768 monitor so card mostly
wasted - saving up for nice 1600x1200
