 Thanx I think I've fount what you meant though.  Just one more question.  Will
 existing drivers work for the 2D portion of my card or will I have to go with
 "Beta" drivers or the other meathod witch apparatly involvs editing the Kernal
 (I'm an advanced Win user but am just starting w/ Linux so that could be just
 a bit beoyond me right new)?

No, everything should work with the 2D portion of your card.  Recompiling your
kernel is *NOT* necessary (besides, it's a function of XFree86, not your
kernel).
