========= No, it doesn't matter in what order they are in, but all of them should be there! Sounds like it is seeing the card correctly and I'm pretty sure that card is supported. What version of xorg are you running? If it's the build that came with 10.0, that version may not support that card fully, but will do excellent 2d. That may be your problem and the reason the 3D box is greyed out to you. I do believe 7.1 and above supports the 9800 fully though. I'll look in the changelog to see what it says. Either way, you should be able to add the "dri" module to get some 3D now, although it may not be exceptional, it should still work. good luck, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
