yeah I know about that.  it's actually what I used. but I can't see
what's wrong with my config. My xorg.0.log seems to be showing that
it's not matching the driver with the card or something. like to tell
me the card was found at 1:7:0 and that there's no match for BusID
1:7:0 or something. could look at the bug I filed (which I'm not sure
is a bug).
