	Guys,

	Has anybody with any Dell run into this before?  I just got a new
	Matrox with 32M of video ram.  Run with the "mga" driver, X comes
	up extremely dark.  If I change the driver to the "vesa" X comes
	up with normal brightness but the resolution is terrible.  At
	most 640x480.  tHis could be a hardware bug;I'm hoping it is
	just not having selected the right driver.  

	Anybody know what to try next?

	thanks in advance,

	gary
