The 1Ghz one?  With an Nvidia Go5200?

I suggest you use the X from the experimental Debian version.  (do a google search
for "Debian experimental xfree" and you should find it)

After you've installed them with apt-get and run through the Debian X configuration,
add:
	Option "FlatPanel"
to the devices section.  X should now work.

(I posted to the list about a week ago with this solution)
