My InfoMagic distribution claims to have support for Diamond cards, but
I am having a bit of difficulty configuring my system. I have tried a
couple of times and each time my system locks up as soon as I run X
and needs to be powered down to recover. When I run SuperProbe the same
thing happens.

Has anyone had better luck? Perhaps someone could mail me their
XF86Config file.

I have a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM with 2Mb DRAM.
