Hi,

We are having a rather frustrating time getting the video component of X =
to work on 2.2.7 on an OmniBook 4100 laptop.  The video on board is =
Neomagic; as shipped with W95, the screen runs 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz =
vertical refresh.

Using XF86Setup, we haven't been able to get a combination that works - =
either the Xserver does not come up or it comes up with 'double' pixels =
(large, square pixels with the text mostly unreadable, chopped off on =
the right side of the screen).

Please advise.

/Steve
