=========== Bryen, Have you tried running sax2 to enable the fglrx module or even the aticonfig program for the newly installed ati software? Try: sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx I know they have made several changes in the past few years and different methods have been used to enable & load the ati driver modules, but I think sax2 is capable now to do that for you. Documentation is always good at this point also. ;-) good luck Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
