Hi all.
I managed to get hold of some more AGP cards to try and I found the problem but
what causes it exactly is a mystery.
No matter what AGP card is fitted with the Viper v550 PCI card installed and I
tried a NVidia Geforce 3 and an ATI Rage 128 pro, the AGP card is always
detected as a NVidia Riva 128, which by the way has never been near this system.
Remove the Viper and the card is detected correctly. I can only assume that when
KDE started for the second time this mis-identification confused the hell out of
it and it took it out on the second desktop, the one connected to the Viper.
Now all I have to do is find a PCI card that works with other cards.
