Found these strings you might be interested in: "Direct rendering not yet supported on Radeon 9500/9700 and newer cards" "Direct rendering not yet supported on IGP320/330/340/350, 7000, 9000 integrated chips" "You may not have enough display bandwidth for current mode" "If you have flickering problem, try to lower resolution, refresh rate, or color depth" So no joy on on the 9600XT, but there's your answer for the flickering. -- Chris Kloiber
