I'll also post this for anyone else who is interested.  Attached are my
configuration files for both XFree86 2.1.1 and XFree86 3.1.  They
include timings for 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 which duplicate the
way the MS-Windows drivers set up the PowerGraph VL-24.  (These are the
"w" suffix timings.)

1. STB PowerGraph VL-24

I have recently received a PowerGraph VL-24 graphics card from a
friend...not the newest card available but it replaced my aging Trident
card.  Everything works fine with it (to date) except X Windows.  My
question is --- is it supported? I know the PowerGraph X-24 is...I just
don't seem to be able to get X to start up with this card, any help is
appreciated.  Thanks.
