Yes, thanks...I'd love to see anything that might help. I'm at a loss as to
what to do next, and Mandrake tech support doesn't have much to say about
it...
When will a new version of Xfree86 be out? Will support be in a full
release, or in one of the smaller pre-releases?
Also, does anyone know anything about the commercial driver I heard
mentioned? I'm wondering if that might be a better option than buying a new
video card.
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone - I appreciate it.
Brian
