    but that doesn't mean that XF-4.0.1 in 7.2 won't.  I had the 
same experience with 7.0 and 7.1, too many problems with my voodoo3 
on a BX board and XF-4, so I stuck with XF-3.3.6  With 7.2/XF4.0.1 
tho, the V3 works great!  FPS in 'gears' have gone from 90's to just 
under 120 fps !!  2D looks better, quicker also.

i'm having printer problems tho, so

    OK, you'll need to look into 7.2's new print manager, CUPS. From 
what I've heard, all KDE2 apps work well, some non-KDE don't right 
out of the box, but do after a config (to the app) change.  I say 
I've heard, because I don't use a printer on my 7.2 box (I've got an 
el cheapo win-printer, and it's broke :(

    That's what I'm fixin' to do ;)  Now that the challenge of 
7.2beta3 upgrading manually to 7.2+  (there's some updates past 
7.2f) is finished, and I've got the 7.2 final CD's comin in the 
mail, I'm gonna do a format/fresh install.  Then I'm gonna start a 
local chapter of Mandrake Upgrad'aholics Anonymous, another 12 step 
program ;>>
