No one can help you with that graphics board right now. The VIPER uses the
P9000 chipset that is no svga chipset. XFree86 does not support that chipset
by now (release 1.3) and will not support it in the next release.
Sorry, but this is a much greater problem than the board beeing built by diamond.
