No, I'm using the KN400
(http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k7-series/kn400/). They're
pretty different, and when I try to configure it as a KM400 card, the
screen blacks out. The OS seems to detect it on startup, but that's
about as far as it goes. When I xinit, it returns the error "bad length
in geometry." Does anyone know a solution to this one? (It also doesn't
go higher than 8-bit color when I configure it as generic VGA.)
