I had problems with a PWS 500a and a Matrox Millenium II (if I remember
right). It just refused to work. I then used a 3Dlabs Oxygen VX1 (32MB,
Glint chipset) which works pretty good.
Just that sometimes I the colours switch.... like the Gnome blue becomes
light brown. If I change to a another console (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) and go back
to console 9 (X), everything is fine again.
Anyone ever experienced something like that?
