Diamond Viper VLB Clock Speeds

[Jim Sherwood]

I am a newbie to Linux.  I have been a long time user of AIX and
OS/2.  I recently installed Linux on my machine at home (486dx33).
I think I just about have it going except for one more line in the
XF86Config file.  I am trying to set the clock speeds for my
Viper VLB card.  In reading the sunsite web page, it says that I
no longer need to give a clock speed, as X-windows will autoset it.
However, if I do not set it, starting x-windows burps that I must
set it.  Is there a newer version of the x-server for the viper
than what I presently have?  I would appreciate any help.
For the values of clock that I did try, my screen goes ballistic!

Thanks,

Jim
