=========== Have you guys tried the "ati" driver instead of the "radeon"? I know both seem to work for me, but the differences were usually the cards they worked with, which may be the case with you. Either run sax2 with ati sax2 -m 0=ati or just change the driver in xorg.conf to test it. Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
