If you have lots of time on your hands you could research card design specs to determine if there is any conflict for resources, memory mapping, bios location etc. I haven't got that kind of time, so I've just installed things and tried function. I've run into conflicts in some cases and have other cases work fine. Over the past ten or so years, things have gotten better about working and X is much happier to handle things without obscure configuration gymnastics.
It is my experience that just trying is faster than asking for help. -- Bill _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
