I have 6111 installed OK but it is against a 2.6.~ kernel and I understood at the time that that is what was required for the OpenGL stuff to work. As I said, just a thought. -- Newbie Seeking USER_FUNCTIONALITY always! Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve. Registered Linux User # 324213 I am using the 6111 driver (FX 5700 based, ASUS graphics card) on a custom 2.6.8.1-24 kernel. I cannot remember if I installed it on the standard mdk kernel (I suspect not). I use it with 2 screens. It works fine, except I have occasional problems where it will spit the dummy on my XF86Config file, and I have to go back to the original, and reset the twin view options in the config file.
