Hi Guy's,

I also had problems getting XFree86 3.3.3.1-52 running with the
XFree86_3DLabs 3.3.3.1-52 driver.

IMHO, DO NOT EXPECT probing to get it right, you must hand tweak
/etc/X11/XF86Config to suit (trial and error)...

In my case, I tried each manufacturer available in xconf for the 3DLabs
chip set as my card was un-branded.

Secondly, in the Device section I had to set the VideoRam to 4096 (even
though the card has 8 Meg) and also use the NoLinear option, ie:

VideoRam	4096
Option		NoLinear

This worked sweet.

I am not sure that you really need the latest versions of X/driver.
