Hmmm...I wonder if that is related to something strange I saw: Something I
ran to auto-detect the amount of video reported twice the amount I thought
I had (1MB vs. 2MB).
(Sorry I don't recall if it was SuperProbe I ran manually or something run
in the and package configuration--probably the latter.)
By the way, for me X works fine with the correct value in XF86Config.
