You can analyze it to death if you want. There's a lot of combinations
that work and there's a lot that don't. Unless you can find someone
running your exact hardware, it's all probabilities until you test it.

The message from Sheridan's is typical of one of the one of the
combinations that that won't work out of the box because of geometry
problems. In Jim's case there was a workaround that worked with Daniela's
drivers. I doubt he would have been so fortunate with IBM1S506.

Exactly, although as I understand Dani's documentation, it's not exactly
permanent. Unless overridden by a switch, the size override is turned off
during driver initialization.
