Whenever I have set up these machines, I haven't had a name-brand card,
so I've just selected "vesa" and generic, etc. I looked at the card and
went back to the reconfig, and told it that it is in fact an ATI Radeon
9200 w/128MB. I rebooted and now I'm in business. Everything seems to
be running smoother than ever, and I'm at the proper resolution.
Apparently, I wasn't doing it right and just needed to play with it a
little more. Thank you Richard!
