I am having a problem with the Xs3 server that is supplied the LGX Fall
CDROM distribution.  I am attempting to run the server with a Stealth
VRAM (YES - I've read the Diamond FAQ).

The prob is as follows : 

	Works fine in mono-vga.

	Configure for S3 server and set max resolution to 640 x 480
	- from what I read in the Diamond FAQ the server
	should work at this resolution despite the fact that it's
	a Stealth VRAM.  Run Xs3 server - monitor goes blank
	(no high pitched sound so I don't think the freq has gone crazy)
	and machine just hangs - can't kill the server with
	C-A-Backspace. ;-(

	Tried solutions by adjusting clock with freq program first
	and then running the Xs3 - still same problem.

Can anyone please help? Am I missing something obvious - as I say the
FAQ has been followed with no success.


Thanks,

David.
