Silly thing was that the couple PCI video cards I had laying around didn't work under X AND they increased the latency test results. Maybe I'll grab a few different cards. One I tried was an S3 Virge and the other an old ATI. There is no means in the bios for disabling the onboard video completely so when I install from the .iso it defaults to the onboard video and doesn't initialize the additional card and I gave up trying to get either one to work because I couldn't get X conigured to work correctly.
But thanks for the suggestion. I'm contemplating a mobo upgrade to one of the top performers on the wiki once I get CAT5 out to the garage. I may also be moving this year (I live with my brother and am starting to look at getting my own house, albeit smaller, but hopefully with a detached garage so I can let things hum away whilst I sleep) so I'm dragging my feet on that. I'll find out Tuesday what the banks have to say... It does run, and didn't miss a beat while running the program, just wondering what goes on inside those little transistors when you set a workpiece offset. Thanks for the response Dave. Every bit of input helps. :) Greg > Chances are that dumping the on-board video for a card will change > things. > I'm running an Intel 'Seattle' 600 MHz P3 with a video card and 384 > Mb of memory and getting fine response. > > HTH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
