You don't say which version of XFree86 you are using. 4.2 was released nearly a year ago, and 4.2.1 is a security release; if you need support for newer hardware you have to expect to use CVS. That would make a big difference, since the Radeon LCD support has been redesigned and rewritten since 4.2. Do you expect Windows 2000 to support your brand new card without the driver on the CD included with the card ? Perhaps you should insist on a card with XFree86 drivers on that CD; I have one, so they do exist. -- Dr. Andrew C.
