I've been using ATI cards with Linux almost exclusively since '92 and have never had a problem any of them. (Got a Matrox card once, just to try something different.) My last Suse install had problems recognizing my ATI card, so I had to hand-edit xorg.conf, but that's not the card's fault. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
