he can have one if he uses the nvidia drivers. I upgraded to gf4 from and gf2 while running 8.2 and iir I didn't have to do anything - but I've already using nvidia drivers. That's why I told him at the very beginning of this adventure he would /have/ to use them. tho I never entertained the notion of him using XFree86-3.3.6. I'm not sure of his goals, but guessing he'd like 3d acceleration tho, or else could have gotten alot cheaper card. In which case he's gonna have to use XFree86-4.X.x & nvidia drivers. Some people just really have a hard time with getting those drivers working the first couple of times they have to, even tho it's gotten soo easy now. I remember when we had to hunt down all the conflicting libraries ourselves and make our own links for other apps to be able to use them - when tarballs were all there were and had to read the readme to get the compiling options - and we were grateful for 'em! <teehee> -s
