I have recently installed gentoo.  Everything works fine except that video 
card will only display in a very low resolution.  So I have these huge icons 
and what not in gnome.

I have ran just about every X configuration tool out(xf86cfg, XFree86 
configure, X -configure) there and the only one that lets my video card work 
is xf86cfg

I know the card will work in higher resolutions because Red Hat ran with it 
just fine.
It is a 3DLabs permedia2 with 8mb.  I have posted my xf86config file below.  
All suggestions are welcome I just want to get this card to work.  :)

thanks,

Ben
