I have some experience with it... and it wasn't pleasant. All I can really
say is... good luck, it doesn't play nice with the binary driver, and it can
only be used in 24-bit color. Nothing about your config sticks out, but I've
attached mine (which is working). There's some junk in there from trying to
debug the issue that can be disregarded.
Good luck!
