I left the PCI parameters blank on my 7300 with motherboard video. I
installed Woody and eventually migrated to "unstable."
Below are some excerpts from my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Note that I
have 4M VSIMMs and use a "default" resolution, currently set in MacOS
for 1280x1024 @ 75Hz. I chose 15 bits/pixel; motherboard should also do
8 and 24.
Be careful with your monitor parameters! My Sun and Viewsonic can handle
all that the video hardware can support, but a lower end monitor could
be harmed by attempting 1280x1024@75.
