XF86_VGA16_TGUI9440 on sunsite

I saw this thing, XF86_VGA16_TGUI9440, mentioned in the new XFree FAQ, and
snarfed it from sunsite immediately. One big question remains open: this
server is supposed to let me use higher clocks, but HOW? What should I do to
my XF86Config to take advantage of this?

    Hi! I did make the XF86_VGA16_TGUI9440 server work. It gives much
fresh standard colors. You can try to use X -probeonly to see the correct
chip and other information.

    Good Luck!
                                Sincerely, / Wei-Chih Liu

p.s. Thanks to the author of this server! It would be even better if we
can have a SVGA server someday soon.

If this is the server that I think it is, then there are probably some
"features" that were not well documented.  For instance to get the
programmable clocks you need to use the statement: Clockchip "tgui"
There is also a set of options that tell the server about the speed of
memory on the card.  These options are: 'slow_dram' - 80ns RAM, 'med_dram'
- 70ns RAM, and 'fast_dram' - 45ns.  It also may not have the capability
of mode switching yet.  This is assuming that its the server that I think
it is.
