If this makes a difference, then that may be why it works fine here. The ATI card has DRI, the Matrox does not. I leave this to Fred Crozat since he is the mozilla maintainer and will take your word for it... I have no way of testing anything else as I don't have a dual head card, just two different cards. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
