I need my SGI 1600SW to work in X. Here is my setup:

Slackware 9.1 + XFree 4.3

SGI 1600SW monitor
Radeon 8500 AGP card
SGI Multi Link

The Monitor is connected to the multi link, and the multilink is
connected to the Radeon with the DVI-I cable.

I read a few posts (after searching on google), and it seems that some
people were able to get this setup to work by using the analog setup
(analog cable + analog option on the multi-link). This is not an
option. I want to be able to use this monitor+card in X using the
DVI-I cable.

What's required of you? A working XF86Config file.

The current XF86Config file I have tries to load X, but then complains
about not being able to find a video card on PCI 0:0? or 0:1? The card
is AGP.
