I came to the conclusion that this chip isn't really supported in Xfree 4. I
tried both 4.1 and 4.2, and all kinds of different configurations on a 760XL
(1024x768) screen, and have not found happiness. I have been meaning to get
3.1 on it and try xfree 3.3, which I have had working in the past on it with
both free and open bsd.
