i usually find out my hardware info through lspci -vv. for instance: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) is my first line after running the aforementioned command. the S3 Inc. is the company name and the Savage is the chipset (the part you want). then run dpkg-reconfigure with that info. cheers, -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
