New install - video problems

[Jay Morgan]

OK, I was able to solve my own problem.  By using the information in 
the "howto" listed here:

http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_2.2/xconfig.shtml

I manually edited my /etc/X11/XF86Config.-4 file to properly use the 
IMS Twin Turbo Graphics card.

Thanks to John R. Stuart, the writer of the "howto".
