no error code. as far as X is concerned, it is up and running and i can hear the sounds from the windowmanager starting up but either the screen is blank or it detects an improper setting and sets itself to a lower-power state (screen off, power button turns from green to orange and stays there until i hit <CTRL><ALT>backspace). as i said before, XFdrake in previous mdk versions has always autodetected this card/display but no go now. i'm not in front of the computer now, any more tests i should run tonight? thanks, -sean
