Yeah, that's the right driver.... I have been using that driver on my
laptop for almost 2 years now. I remember when it came out. Troy Engel
helped me out with that one.
There is no specific X server for this card. Just make sure you have
XFree86-4.2.0-8 and family installed.
So what is the problem?? I sense you want to punch the machine.... but I
don't know why...
run Xconfigurator, answer everything to the best of your ability and be
happy....
I have installed and upgraded 7.3 about 10 times so far without a hitch,
both clean server installs and upgrades.... In fact I am doing one as I
type this on a client's machine.
Have Fun!
