Don't know about the monitor but the OTI 64111 will give you only a very
measly display. it's not supported, I had  the same one and had to get it
changed. You'll have to stick to the generic card or try choosing Cirrus
Logic 544x as your card *but only at your risk*. I ran my machine for some
time using this config. (someone suggested fiddling with the modlines but it
was way over my head).
