Well, I downloaded all the pkgs from the supplementry directory on the ftp server in the X directory for 7.3 which I'm still running on the box with the new Radeon 7500 I bought a week ago. All I did was fire up sax2 and it detected the card and setup GLX and DRI. Works fine with UT and Quake3. You are most likely missing some of the pkgs. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- Tell me what you believe..I tell you what you should see. -DP --=====-----=====--
