Well, I took mine out and put in some ASUS card which uses the NVidia chipset (don't ask for particulars... I have no clue). It uses XFree86's nv module and while I don't get accelerated X, that's enough for me. At this point, I don't care. =) I grabbed some spare parts and put together a Win2k machine to play those Win games that I want to play. We'll see how long it takes for me to do another reinstall (usually I've had to do it every 3-6mos). But since it's just for gaming, I don't really care. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
