Greetings,
   I have not had luck with any resolution < 640x480 (specifically ssnes9x)
My Video card is a Matrox Mystique G200.  I'm running the Matrox FB in 
800x600 mode.  and GGI.  Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? 
Kernel version is 2.2.6.  Any questions or more info needed let me know.

Mark
