I tried the drivers on a Gateway 4DX-66V machine with an Ultra Pro with
just 1MB and the old RAMDAC.  The only problem I could find is when I
pulled up the Afterdark control panel.  A square section in the center of
the screen on the background gets all screwed up.  Other than that, I
haven't been able to generate a single problem with it.  Oh, FYI, I am
running it in 1024x768x256 mode.
