I'd better investigate further.  Initially, I screwed up and had the
mouse/keyboard
cables reversed, with both the G200 and an ATI PCI card in.  I read in
the G200 manual that the G200 only works with other Matrox cards, so
figured that was the problem.  Then I discovered my reversed cables :)

It turns out there is no ATI AGP adapter onboard, though that was specified in
the quote - this is something I'll take up with SAG.

In places like Missoula, it tends to be higher than folks expect, though
I don't think it's as bad as the coasts.
