[CLUE-Tech] Radeon Derived Crashes

[Match Grun]

I have a Radeon VE (32Mb), AGP card, with digital/out or dual-head out.
Works great for me. I am running RH7.2, custom 2.4.18 kernel and
XFree 4.1.0. Card runs at 1600x1200 resolution. Holler if you need a
XF86Config file. I don't know if if will work with VIVO.
