One word of warning about the matrox boards - If the milleniums are millenium II boards and if the mystique is a mystique 220 (also known as a mystique "business"), then you won't be able to use just the straight bo packages for X, and will need to do a bit of finagling. (Debian 1.3.1 comes with Xfree 3.3, and these cards only work with Xfree 3.3.1) On the other hand, I use a Mystique 220 on my bo machine just fine, and have posted instructions to the list detailing exactly how I made my machine work. (If asked, I could dig them up - they're around here somewhere). I also think that the millenium boards are generally overpriced. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
