[lug] Data integrity problems on new machine

[John Karns]

Kinda makes me nervous about using the Asus mobos.  My AGP video problem
(the system locks up hard) persists with a Trident Blade3D chip on a
generic card.  I did get a Trident 3DImage975 card to work, after giving
the SuSE X config utility 'sax' the '-s svga' parm.

I also discovered that the BIOS on my Asus P5A board is up to date, so 
I'm stuck with the slower 975 card for now.
