You are trying to use your card in a dual head configuration. I tried that too, failed, and was told that the current XFree driver does not support dual head on that card, because of the lack of documentation. Did you try to make it work single headed ? It works fine with me (toshiba S3000-X11 with an intel i830mg card) �ric Brunet _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
