Geez... you're having nothing but rotten luck aren't you? And I thought mine was bad... (reinstalled 9.1/PPC last week due to some not-so-smart rpm removals, reinstalled 9.1 last night to try to fix this radeon thing, dealing with DRI and X lockups with the r128 card, then this mess with the radeon... lots of fun). > > Went from 320FPS to about 2200FPS... much nicer.

But Frozen Bubble should be cool, although it ran quite nicely before... I can't imagine it taking advantage of too much 3D accel. Now if I could figure out how to make Quake2 work in 9.1, then I'd be a *real* happy camper (to the extent that now I'm dual booting to deal with my RPG cravings). -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
