Hi,
Just got my hands on a new laptop at work, and am learning about
the laptop world and am full of questions.. :-) I've installed
2.2.7-RELEASE plus the latest PAO snapshot.

 - In trying to set up X11 on this machine, nowhere in the specs are
   the sync ranges for the LCD screen displayed. It's capable of 1024x768,
   but that's about all I know about it...

   IE, what does a typical "Monitor" section in XF86Config look like
   for this type of LCD display?

 - Does the existing X11 S3V driver support the S3 Virge/MX+ 86c280 chip?
   it's not explicitly listed.. are patches available or necessary?

 - It has an ESS ES1968S PCI audio chip:

     pci0:16:  vendor=0x125d, device=0x1968,
       class=multimedia (audio) int a irq 5 [no driver assigned]

   Does Luigi's sound driver support this chip in this PCI version?
   If so, what config file magic would make it work?

Any help/comments greatly appreciated.
