Thanks LenzG: I was getting woried , thoght I has a few loos bolts.
I assume you mean there is still hope for a solution. That is good news.
Getting tired of runing xf86config.
I fount the no accell , and it helps somewhat. I will try the other two
options as well , Perhaps this evening. Kind of tied up right now G:
I am SURE it ahs to do with the speedstar A50 AGP , This morning a buddy
lent me a Diamond V550 and the works. However I had to give it back. I
would rather get this one working than to buy another one.
Thanks for your help . ill try it and post the results
