It's not neomagic, but I called them up for a XConfig file for the
external and it was a VESA driver. I'll look at it a bit later and
tell you. It's not on the network at the moment.

Yes they do!
Xchat crashes when I just click on a button their X, Mozilla dies
whenever it looks for a plugin, the gimp dies on filters, gvim dies on the
