Let's form a club! :-)

Seriously though there's a solution: Grab the latest beta XF86_SVGA
(version is 3.2A).

Now I'm struggling to get a decent resolution out of my card/monitor
combo. I've been playing with xvidtune and I get 1152x864 and 1024x768
modes running, but haven't gotten a perfect optimum otherwise: I
either get "CGA-snow" or a lousy refresh rate. Ideas, anyone?

Damn, I miss my Sun 3/60!
