This is interesting to hear. I tinkered _alot_ :) and rtfm all the web
pages I could find on the subject. The other thing I forgot to mention is
apparently there may be some pretty significant variations between 6326
'chipsets' on the cards. As many as a dozen varieties are floating around
according to one web page. A typical case of version numbering problems.
I'm glad to hear your works well. I'm happily using X via my lovely s3
Virge card, and will wait for the drivers to improve before giving the agp
card another run.
Cheers,
