Thank you, and to the others that replied. :)
Well, according to what I could find, it *should* use the r128 driver.
Let's find out. What does `lspci -vv' say? This is "very verbose" mode, and can get quite wordy; it may not wrap well in email. If you *could* it would *rock* if you did `lspci -vv > pci-listing.txt' and posted that on a web server somewhere, providing us mere mortal list members to read it as lspci intended it to be read. :)
Sorry, I've already yanked it out. However, I'm at the moment loading Mandrake 8.0 on my test machine with the offensive card in it. So let's see in a while what happens.
Unfortunately, I've blown my graphics card budget for this month. ;-) Maybe next month I'll do that VooDoo that you do!
I know exactly how that goes. :) AFAIK, the V3 is *still* hands-down the easiest somewhat modern 3D card to configure with XFree86 4. I have a Banshee/AGP, a V3-2k/AGP and a V3-3k/AGP that all work marvelously in all operational modes, with little- to no-fuss configuring. If you want to keep it easy, avoid the new Radeons and avoid the ATI RageMaxx (dual-processor Rage128) cards; there are lots of problems with lots of configurations with these devices.
Thanks for the info. Tom -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.2 Pro
