Yes. If I use these, I get "unsupported mode" from the multilink.
If I use the ones in the XF86Config_sgivpro, the multilink doesn't
complain, but I get blue and yellow fuzz. If you cross your eyes
just right, you can see a glimmer of an xterm in there somewhere.
The multilink is also supposedly able to lock onto VESA 1280x1024
(and other) resolutions. However, I get the same result - blue/yellow
fuzz. It works great in windows though (at 1280x1024 - haven't figured
out 1600x1024 yet but that is a different story). Win must know
something that I don't.

Yes. This is the message from X, just before it chokes:
(==) NVIDIA(0): Write-combining range (0x88000000,0x4000000)
It loads sgivpro, mouse, vgahw, and then it recognizes quadro. Then
it sets up the ramdac, loads cfb, mfb, xaa and ramdac. Then it prints
out the above message and hangs the machine.
As far as I can tell, the behavior is the same whether I load the
module or not.
