it's the actual driver that has a list of pci ids for the cards it supports what driver are you using?, because i had similar problems like your self a couple of months back i have a radeon 2400XT which works fine with the radeon HD driver if ctrl-alt-bkspace is working then something is processing the keystrokes Martin -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
