      Okay I am sure this has been asked numerous times and if there is a FAQ
   for this group and this question is answered in it can someone point me to
   the FAQ.  The question being...  I am trying to get X running under Linux
   with an ATI Ultra Pro with no success does anyone have an Xconfig setup for
   the Ultra Pro with a 15" Crystal Scan monitor on my Gateway machine?
   I am using the X package from the SLS distribution, do I need to get the
   X8514 configuration?

I use the Ultra Pro as an SVGA, so don't use the x8514.  For one
thing, I get a higher resolution this way.  Here is my Xconfig.  But
please understand that this is for use with a Viewsonic 8 monitor
which allows me to center the image and save that setting, so I have
no idea how this Xconfig would display on a normal monitor.  Just
don't blame me if you blow up your monitor.
