OK, annoying, but still nothing to do with the card :-) >But say, don't you have to specify the card you want to use when you >set the X system up? Or did Debian autoprobe your Voodoo card? If you >actually had to specify a card, which one did you pick? Haven't a clue, I'm afraid. I got my Voodoo card long after installing Debian, and judging from /etc/X11/XF86Config I just re-ran xf86config. I have the following Device section: # Device configured by xf86config: Section "Device" Identifier "Voodoo3 (generic)" VendorName "3dfx" BoardName "Voodoo3 2000" #VideoRam 16384 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate EndSection -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
