Since there was a lot of trouble involved in getting his card to work,
the Debian config file worked where the Fedora config did not work,
against system-config-display. This *might* get the configuration
program for X to work on te next go-around. Submitting the working
config and the non-working config should be valuable to fixing the bug.
It's great that he now has it working with the config from another distro.
