Well, I did get an error when I tried to enable DRI. So I thought I'd worry about 2D first, 3D second. But, since you've brought it up: Symbol xf86RemoveSIGIOHandler from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a is unresolved! Symbol xf86InstallSIGIOHandler from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a is unresolved! I assume that I can use the exact same kernel driver (2.4.12) that I was using with my old Radeon, right? > As for 8500, which introduces a new 3D pipe, I am working on the driver > nad will finish hopefully soon.

Sorry... That should be: http://www.visualtech.com/adam/output.jpg Of course, now I have to admit that it's working fine for me. I haven't changed anything in my setup under Linux, but in my attempts to get the card working under Win2K, I *did* adjust some AGP settings in the bios. Could that have fixed the problem? Also, I'm not worried about it at the moment, but I will be getting a digital flat panel for Christmas. Are they currently supported by the driver (I know it works with the Radeon VE, but I wasn't sure about the 7500 or 8500).
