I have that exact vid chipset myself. It is supported well in 7.02 I think possibly the problem is the monitor choice, even though your monitor may be listed, try the Generic Monitor/Multisync, with default settings. That should at least get your Xserver to start. I used "xf86config" to do the final tweaking on my video/monitor setup. As a side note, I have tried "xvidtune" and all it does is crash my Xserver. My vid card is a Newcom 4 MB PCI w/CL5465 chipset, and a Sceptre 14" PnP monitor, my vid settings for X are 1024X768 32 Bit color. HTH Jaguar "Eduardo M. A. M.
