I have a Diamond FIRE GL 1000 Pro video card.  The following are the specs
for the card:

Chip Type: 3Dlabs' PERMEDIA 2
DAC Type: TVP4020
Memory: 8MB
230MHz RAMDAC
AGP 1.0 / ATX compatible

When configuring the X server, I did the following:

This card is not in the card database for the X server, so I chose the
generic "VGA Compatible" card.  I also didn't see the DAC or chipset as
supported selectable items, so I didn't select any.  I chose to use the VGA
(16 color) server, just to be safe.  When I start the server using 'startx',
the machine locks up.  I can't even do a CTRL-ALT-BKSPC to stop the server.

I can tell that the video board stops sending a signal to my monitor because
the monitor's on-screen menu shows up about 3 seconds after 'startx'.  The
menu shows that there are no input signals present.

Any ideas?
