It didn't help. So I popped a TNT2 from my brother's box in here and it DOES work (albeit kinda slowly, if I'm going to be stuck with it for any length of time I probably should examine the finances and consider swapping it for a GeForce2 MX if I can afford to do so..) The Radeon 64 works fine in windoze in my brother's box (VIA chipset, Intel chip, Celeron 600ish I think) and I'm going to try it in a BX-based Linux box to confirm that the Radeon 64 driver works. I suspect it will, but in that case the problem is most likely agpgart (I think? Gareth, can you think of any other probable causes?) --=20 Joseph Carter <kng...@de...> Free software developer Techical solutions are not a matter of voting.
