I have a (now working) Xconfig file for a Diamond Speedstar (not a Speedstar+)
with an off-brand (KFC) 1024x768 14" monitor, under whatever version of X386
comes with Linux 0.99p8. I think that's Xfree1.2.

   It is possible to get X386 running on my Diamond Speedstar, but I suspect
it may only be possible on older Diamond cards like mine. My card was
manufactured shortly before Diamond went on their proprietary clock BS.
Still, a very important workaround is to *never* mess with clocks 0 or 1.
They are apparently hardwired to 25 and 28 MHz, respectively, and X386 can
be fooled by that. I put a 44 MHz clock on Clock 2, and this gave me a nice
interlaced 1024x768.
