Makes no difference, does not work either. Then I tried setting agpmode to 4x, but that did not get me to a destop either, with 4 different drivers, vesa, radeon, ati, and flgrx. So I re-installed the 9200, and my monitor says "mode out of range", which happens with this card during default res installation, Don't even see the command line running by on boot. This with the vesa, radeon, and ati driver.
I can edit the 10.3 xrog.conf file from my 10.2 install, but I don't know what to change to make this card feed something my monitor can handle. So I'll do a re-install of 10.3 again. At this point the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried, is the ati fglrx driver with 10.3 on the 9200 card. I'll try that and report back. After that I'm out of ideas. Any more thoughts would be most helpful. I was really hoping 10.3 would be "it" for me. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
