Diamond stealth 2500 & X setup
My new video card has arrived, a diamond stealth video 2500. I've tried to run XF86Setup, but am not getting anything usable.
I tell it which card, and for monitor have tried both the "can do 1280x1024 at 60hx", and actually entering the ranges for my machine, 30-66 and 55-130.
It successfully starts the xserver, though it's a grey with black speckles, and the speckles stay when the dialogs for xvidtune come up. After saving, i try to startx, but get a .xsession-errors of

Fatal server error:
no screens found
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
These don't seem to be the same modes as xvidtune received.
However, if i put the old stealth vram card in, and run through the setup,
I get a configuration that works on it (but not the 2500).
I reallly have no idea what to do at this point.
(hmm, and why isn't emacs wrapping my lines???)
