When I tried XFree, it set me to the low res defaults, too, but I hand tweaked the config file, and got it where I wanted it. Still, *images* seemed to display in low res, although everything else was OK. I finally went to Metrolink's web site to see if they had an updated driver for 4.1.x. They didn't, but for $39, I bought Metro-X 4.3, which advertises support for Generic ViRGE cards. I downloaded it (it's only distributed via ftp) and installed it with generic ViRGE support, and there's no font corruption and images dispaly properly. The only complaint I have is that there's excessive flicker on my monitor. I thought it was because of refresh rates, and sure enough, the Metro configurator didn't quite get it right, but even after hand tweaking the refresh rates, I have too much flicker. I'll be contacting Metrolink about that. At any rate, while I'm not totally happy with my current setup, I can at least use it until Metrolink comes up with a fix. Up to you if you want to try it. YMMV.
