Curious ... I've various ATI-AGP cards in Linux machines here without any problem. But I only run the real time stuff on ITX boxes, with 4x3 monitors ;) Admittedly the nvidia drivers are better though, and with cards only costing £30 they tend to be what is on the spares shelf nowadays. That and the AGP motherboards go in the bin when they need replacing anyway :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
