There#s a bug (sorry, Ray) win the Debian/Woody's standard "distro"
installation routine: When it comes to the video card's memory to
enter, anything else but "1024" (KB) wouldn't get you nowhere with
whatever of the not-listed brands of card/monitor combines.

Inputting that value would eventually get X working - but definitely not
at the best screen resolution.

(After weeks of worktime wasted we gave up on making Debian/Woody work
with a combine of a quite renowned video card and ditto high-res monitor;
the "commercial" distros - Mandrake, SuSE, RH - hadn't any problem with
that.)
