Hello Group,
Had my old motherboard SIS chip set go down last week. The motherboard
died and took my Athlon 2400 XP with it.
Now I have an ASUS motherboard with on board VIA*Delta Chrome graphics.

Best wishes,

is an unpopular statement) but it is your onboard VIA Delta Chrome stuff.
Okay, lastly it might be your lousy day since you bought such a board. ;-))
My advice: Change that and buy a graphics adapter from Nvidia (well ATI
is working, as well). Even if you use the cheapest GPU, that money can
buy you, you will get WAY MORE performance and you can forget about your
trouble.
just my 0.2 cents
Eberhard
FWIW (not even 0.2 of a cent :) I have an MSI board with onboard VIA
Chrome. I had continual problems - mouse suddenly shooting to a corner
of the screen, video flicker etc - that all went away when I bought a
cheap nvidia card. So I second Eberhard's advice if you can afford it.
Cheers, Dave
Dave, your firsthand experience is worth way more that 0.2 of a cent :-)))).
Well, as much as I hate to say it. I know positively that onboard VIA
chrome in all fairness works "ok" with Win XP when you use the VIA
drivers. I do not know about Vista though.
By "ok" I mean that it works faultlessly, as long as you accept that 3D
Acceleration is somewhere between lousy and non-existent.
regards
Eberhard
Thank you for you answers. I have tried a couple more things since I
dropped line to the list. I found a page detailing how to use an rpm
for unichrome on SuSE 10.1 and 10.2 but this has not worked out.
Does SuSE handle PCI Express cards ? As my motherboard does not have an
AGP slot onboard.
Best wishes,
Clive.
