Just to let everyone know, I got X up and running fine. It turned out to be
that I had the monitor settings wrong. Checking the vertical and horizontal
sync rates of the monitor on the Mitsubishi homepage solved the problem. All
you Diamond Multimedia fans out there can relax . . . the card wasn't the
problem (although I don't know why SuperProbe didn't work).

Anyway, thanks to Johnathan B. and Stephen T.
