The main issues are with 4X cards and the agp bus the seem to lock up you computer. to fix this is easy vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf go to the driver section and at the bottom of this section add a line Option "NvAGP" "0" or use 1 2 3 see the nvidia README for more info. on all of my 4x cards I have had to set them to 1 which is the Nvidia built in agp. My advise on a cheap card with 3D would be an 8x 32mb ge-force they go for about R350 (Rand) and in dollars that would be about $50 Else see if you can get a seconf hand geforce 2 -- ****************************************************************** Chadley Wilson Soon 2 B RHCE Linux Rocks Welcome to my world.
