We have a brand new Dell Pentium server that we've installed BSDI
2.1 on and the default display in X is black & white. We looked in all
the documentation and the monitor and display card aren't listed, nor
are they in Xsetup.

Here's what we have:

	DELL 15LS color monitor model D1528-LS
		13.5" color monitor, we're sure it can be SVGA, at least

	VIRGE 2MB PCI, STB video board
		supports SVGA in Windows, at least.

What's the magic value that we need to get this configured correctly?
We looked at the Xaccel patches and it isn't clear whether that'd
fix the problem or not...

Help!!
