I added the line BusID "PCI:1:0:0" and Xfree tries to start. But now my 
monitor turns to black and I get a big warning that the "signal frequency 
is out of range". Really weird because I always used the (correct) values 
for horizontal and vertical frequencies for the monitor. The only thing I 
can do at that point is to reset the computer.
