I am new to 386BSD and am trying to get X working with a Gateway 486/50 and 
the ATI Utlra card.  I retreived the binaries for XFREE86 from agate, and 
looked in the modeDB.txt file for this card, and can not find it.   I tried 
the VGA wonder, and it flashes on the screen, and the screen is left 
garbled, but the system does not crash. (ie I can type shutdown and it does 
this.)
Any Ideas??  Unfortunately I can not rebuild the source due to lack of drive 
space.

TIA
