..Argh.  maybe someone can help me with this..

I just bought an altima virage notebook.. (basically the same thing as a
patriot 4000..)  Superprobe reported the following information:

First video: Super-VGA
Chipset: WD/Paradise 90C24
Memory: 512 kbytes
RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC

SO.. I fire up xf86config, select the WD/Paradise 90C24 chipset w/ the
XF86_SVGA server and *KABOOM* :screen draws really funny lines, and I have
to reboot to fix the video.  Is there a known problem with this driver?
problems with the chipset? ANY suggestions at all would be *GREATLY*
appreciated.
