Aha, that would be the issue then. I've been using machines with i810 and i815 graphics, some of them had AGP video cards but I removed them (having no need for them on servers). I'll try disabling the i81x and use an AGP card and see if it helps. > [1] Well, except some of the low-end Pentium Ms. I guess Celerons may be > missing it as well.

Except for the Pentium-M in my laptop according to Matthew. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://etbe.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
