Hi,

My X has similar problems and it's not due to wrongly guessing the card.
When using SuperProbe and applying those to XF86Setup (in stead of using
the <probed> settings) it doesn't even start X, while when using the auto
probes it'll start up but with the symptoms as described by Todd Marek.
Btw this last setup did work under 1.4.3.
