Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Rage 128" Driver "ati" BusID "PCI:01:0:0" EndSection If you have an nVidia card, your driver is likely to be either "nVidia" or "nv" (IIRC) rather than an "ati" (or something else) as in the above case. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
