FreeBSD runs great on the Microstar/MSI KM4M motherboard, an integrated
MicroATX board with on-board network (VIA Rhine), sound (works with
pcm), and video (ProSavage).

However, getting X to work with the integrated video requires a trick
that I wanted to document for the archives.  The "NoUseBIOS" option must
be included in the Device settings.  Otherwise, the monitor just goes
dark when X is started.
