Yeah, I figured out how to use setpci for that. It didn't help. So I
popped a TNT2 from my brother's box in here and it DOES work (albeit kinda
slowly, if I'm going to be stuck with it for any length of time I probably
should examine the finances and consider swapping it for a GeForce2 MX if
I can afford to do so..)
The Radeon 64 works fine in windoze in my brother's box (VIA chipset,
Intel chip, Celeron 600ish I think) and I'm going to try it in a BX-based
Linux box to confirm that the Radeon 64 driver works. I suspect it will,
but in that case the problem is most likely agpgart (I think? Gareth, can
you think of any other probable causes?)

states almost decided that the value of Pi be 3.14, exactly. Popular vote
does not make for a correct solution.
