I'm sorry to hear about your winwoes; I'm not sure, but I would think if
you've made sure to disable the onboard card (through a jumper or a
switch) the only thing that would be left would be the bios settings.
I have another however; I don't know if you're a gamer, but I just
bought a copy of Quake 2 for Linux (never tried before) and my results
were a little disapointing. First, I've got an AMD k6-3 450MHz with
192MB RAM and an ATI Rage Fury w/ 32MB RAM. I'm only able to play on a
max window size of 640x480 before the sound starts cutting out and I
start dropping frames. Also, I only get half the game window to play
in, the other side is just black. Is this to be expected with non-3dfx
cards?
Thanks, Mike
