The problem is that the newer cards have dramatically changed how they do 2D, and as far as I know, no one has started reverse engineering them to make them work. So you're basically stuck with fglrx in that situation. It's a sucky place to be in, but I don't ha ve a better answer for you. > I recently actually got sufficiently pissed off at both the ati and fglrx > drivers that I went out and bought an nv/nvidia card, both of whose drivers > actually work properly. Yeah, not an uncommon thing to hear unfortunately. With Intel looking to put out stand-alone video cards soon, and with nouveau hopefully picking up its stride, things should improve somewhat for the ati alternatives. It's sad to see what's become of ati though. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
