Second go 'round with Wolf was nothing but smooth sailing. I just got done playing online, hosting a few LAN games, etc. Not a single problem in about 3 hours of putting the system through the paces. Looks like I'll just have to change games! (I've been more into UT2003 to this point, but have been meaning to dedicate some time to Wolf, so now I really have a reason, i.e. no more Windows). Still curious why it locked up on me the first time. We'll see if it happens again or not... To date, I still haven't found a way to get ATI's binary drivers to work with XF86 4.3, but I submitted something to ATI about it (who knows if they'll actually respond). -- Jarod Wilson, RHCE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "A wise man once said nothing at all" -- -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
