                       The new video card, round three

The replacement [1] replacement [2] video card [3] finally arrived! Woot!

The good: It's the right card!

The bad: It was not going into graphics mode when I run X [4].

The ugly: It took a few hours, but I finally got it working. It seems that
when I tried the previous video card, the configuration was overwritten, and
it took some gentle persuasion with a large hammer to straighten it out.

So now it's time to send back the wrong card, and relax now that this
adventure is over.
