Thanks for the answers.  I'll try to get it installed tonight.  I  
have a couple more questions:

What resolution should I set in my Xorg.conf?  I looked at the HDTV  
howto on Jarod's site and he has custom modes in his Xorg.conf (for  
FX 5200).

from Jarod's howto:
SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
                 Modes    "960x540p" "1920x1080i"
EndSubSection

and defines them:
        Mode "960x540p"
                 DotClock 37.26
                 HTimings 960 976 1008 1104
                 VTimings 540 542 548 563
                 Flags "+HSync" "+VSync"
         EndMode
. . .
         # My 1920x1080i mode
         Mode "1920x1080i"
                 DotClock 74.52
                 HTimings 1920 1952 2016 2208
                 VTimings 1080 1084 1096 1126
                 Flags "-HSync" "-VSync" "Interlace"
         EndMode


should I use

Modes "720x480"

or

Modes "HD480p"

and the actual resolution will be 720x480?

or something else?
I've been using 800x600.  I'm not sure that was the best choice but  
it works with the old 440mx.


Thanks again,
Vinton
