Query For Ya, I followed your advice and downloaded the Firegl 8800 drivers. I installed them, set my bit depth to 24, however I cannot get the X server to start @ any other resolution then 640x480.
I know both video card and monitor can do better, as I can get them to do 1280x1024. I notice however you said it works fine w/ most of the cards, have you heard of any incompatibilities w/ the AIW8500DV?
