K, but that was even worse.  After running this command, then the
command it says to do next ('XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new')=20
I still get the 'No OS PCI support' error, but now I also get an=20
additional error message saying:

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none are useable.

AND the center couple lines of the screen are now permanently=20
smeared/unreadable...

Looks like maybe I need to use XFree v3 like the other said, huh?
