Same here. I bought a Diamond Viper 550 after it was recommended
to me on this list last week. Both it and my older Matrox
Millenium use the SVGA server, so I didn't have to touch
_anything_ to get the new card to work under Linux (my monitor is
the limiting factor anyway, using 1600x1200@76Hz).
Interesting bit... After 3 hours of trying, I still can't get
Win95 to use the Diamond Viper 550 correctly! After rebooting it
stays stuck on the `Windows' loading display. There is justice
after all :-)
