Hi Dave :) yes and no. Until now I never used Lenny backports and (security) upgrades but I have done some reinstallings and installings without any Lenny repositories, that might cause the troubles with Envy and USB-MIDI. I didn't go on with the ATI. I get an advice from a Suse multimedia moderator (a bragging penpal I often have troubles with), who alleged to build his kernels himself and I especially told him that I've no AGP port, and he told me he is using 5,- EUR NVidia cards that are PCI, but he was wrong, the cards are AGP and I bet he never build a kernel himself, he might do some patches, otherwise he should know what AGP is. I stopped my work and searched for this card as an AGP version. Back to me. I need a missing kernel module but until now I didn't have the nerve to check out how I can install it. For me the time has come, I will give a dam about graphics and about one Linux for all needs. I think I will install a stable 64 Studio 2.1 too and will make some music, instead of doing handicrafts for my Linux. The screen resolution is fine. I can't change the vertical refresh rate and 3D won't work because of a missing module. There might be a way to get this module and to get 3D working but the problem with the settings for the vertical refresh rate, has been the same for my old hardware with a NVidia AGP card. With my old hardware everything else has been fine and for Suse it also has been possible to change the vertical refresh rate, but when using more than one kernel, the way how to implement the 3D driver for several kenerls won't work for all kernels. Thank you, anyhow I'll take a look at the themes. Cheers, Ralf
