Friend of mine has:

Monitor: Mitsubishi Diamond View 1772ie
Video Card: S3 Trio 3D/2X (2X AGP accel)

and, with Mandrake 7.0 (r2) we cant find the exact monitor listed, so we
selected "generic monitor". Now we get only basic 640x480 res (no other
options available in X-config) and the mouse pointer is a big square block
(ichh...)

SO:
1. Anyone know of monitor driver, or can we use a "similar" Mitsubishi
driver or something else?
2. Video card not listed on mdk or RH supported cards list (earlier S3 cards
are). Presumably this is where the biggest problem is. What do we do? Any
drivers? Or do we get another card for X?

Any help met with tearful thanks,

Marcus
