Hi,

here's what I got running SuperProbe -verbose :

Bug reports are welcome, and should be sent to XFree86@XFree86.org.
In particular, reports of chipsets that this program fails to
correctly detect are appreciated.

Before submitting a report, please make sure that you have the
latest version of SuperProbe (see http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ).

the memory should be reported 4 MB as it is in /var/log/XFree86.0.log
after running XFree86 -configure.

Then after running XFree86 -xf86config ./XF86Config.new -probeonly gives
(relevant lines are here, others omitted) in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:

PS.
I had a look at the mailing list xpert@xfree86.org and others had
this problem too with Trident Cyberblade video chips. I didn't find
solution yet for the virtual console problem.
