OK. Tnx Franki for giving me a smack around the ears for trying to put a monster graphics card in an old machine. Randy, the main reason is that eventhough I am running 800x600 on a 17" monitor and can see the whole screen perfectly, the full graphics under X do not display of the Mandrake Software Manager i.e. the screen doesn't refresh after closing the 'You have not configured a security update source yet' box. I have managed to locally source an 8 Mb SiS PCI card ordered and I wonder if all SiS cards are Mandrake Linux compatible? I sure as hell hope that this video card will do the job as opposed to replacing the motherboard and processor. The postage on overseas mail and the risk of static on the free card will probably cost more in mail fees than the card I am getting anyway for R350 ~ $41. I don't want to take the card that Gary offered as I don't know its compatibility and don't know if I will upgrade to 8.1 when it is released. Thanks all. Now please just tell me that a 8 Mb SiS pci card is supported under Mandrake 8! Franki wrote: > > ok, fair enough, but you don't need "That" flash a vid card to do what you > want.....
