I by no means intend to rush things along, so if you think you need more time, please take it ;-) Just wanted to know where we stand... I'll try the Radeon KMS thing again once I get through this mountain of email that accumulated over the vacation and let you know how the current bits work. Last time I tried KMS swapped the two DVI outputs wrt. the !KMS setup, which is rather annoying during the transition period, but nothing I can't live with once the stuff is stable enough to use all day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
