David, Unfortunately, I think you have got about the only advise the list is able to render: there are try an earlier version of XFree86 and/or try another video card. I once had a video card that had a supported chipset (I forget what the hell the card was now, and maybe it was a sound card), but unfortunately the maker of this card did not use a standard implementation of the chipset on their card. The bottom line was, although the chipset was listed as supported, I could never get it to work. I tossed it into that large stack of unused hardware that has become large due to this very reason. Good luck, and do let us know what you find for a work around. Dr John, The Night Tripper -- J.
