Was the chipset on the PCI card you put in also Cirrus? There are a
couple revisions of Cirrus chipsets that are supported on older Xfree
versions, but not newer ones. They are in the 54xx family, I don't
remember the exact model. Also, what about the monitor? If it is getting
run in too high of a refresh rate, some will blank the screen instead of
displaying the garbage typically associated with too high refresh rates.
