BTW: Cheers for your help so far :) Im a little concerned that browser is stll scrolling a bit jerky. I was hoping for something a tad smoother or is this a fault of the browser? Did some more searching for info on the XF86Config file and it turns out running version 4.x.x as on here, that if the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 exists then that is the config file the system is using. Phew... coz that's the file I've been working on all day getting this to work :)) I think I'm all sorted here for now with this. Just need to see where stable performance gains can be made. First target would seem to be getting the AGP port to utilise 2x mode rather than the default 1x it is currently running... but that can wait for another time :) Thanks again magnet -- Registered Linux user 281659 Registered machines 163839,163840,163841,163842,163843,163844 Home network: 6 x AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz all running Mandrake and token Windows laptop ;-) My home is over-run with penguins that like a warm environment!
