The model is a 2626-2SW.

The card has no memory of it's own if I'm not mistaking, it uses the computers ram. I've been thinking that I don't run the correct version of XFree86. I have v4.1.0.1 installed. Checked that with XFree86 -version, but I see that the X link in /etc/X11 refers to XF86_SVGA, but that is an older 3.3.6 version. How do I make sure that I use the latest version?
