Well, as far as I know all diamond vga products are supposed to use
their propieratory clock synthetizer.

For historical notes:
I own a diamond et4000 card which uses a traditional clock synthetizer.
When I tried to initialize the Diamond Stealth and failed the XFree86
team was quick to point the source of the problem.

So I mentioned to Diamond, how come I was able to initialize the et4000
and not the Stealth, he mentioned that the et4000 must have been an old
version of the et4000.

I was lucky and full of joy to return my Stealth and got an Orchid F1280
which I used to bring about XS3 :-)
