It's probably AGP related. Does adding this option to the device section of your xorg.conf help? Option "AGPMode" "x" Where x = 1 or 2 or 4 or 8. Some chipset/GPU combinations only work in certain modes. If none of those work, try: Option "BusType" "PCI" Alex _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
