I'm having a bit of trouble configuring X properly.  I run XF86Config,
type in all the stuff about my computer, and startx.  When X starts up
though, the resolution is really low, and everything's maginified
quite a lot.  Letters are almost an inch high.  Do you have any
suggestions?

Here's what I tell xf86config:

3 button mouse, mousesystem, tty00, no 3button emulation
The montior is a Panasonic Panasync s17 monitor.  30-69 kHz Horizontal
refresh rate, 50-160 Hz vertical.  The video board is a Diamond
Stealth 64 card (card #102).  It suggests running X3, so I do. 1024
VRAM, T1 3020 Ramdac (that's just a guess though), default
resolutions.
Any help would be much appreciated.

-Mike
