Problem is. You got it installed.. :)
What you and I both need my friend is post-install support. :)
I would consider this an install problem. Or a product problem. I might just get my money back. For the same money I could go download and burn Mandrake and have enough money left over for a TV card. Now that would be fun and more functional.
The goofy thing is I had no problem the first day, but the last couple days I've had two freezes out of nowhere for no explainable reason.
My hardware in case you're curious Ben (in case we match up at all)
Pentium III 800 Radeon 7000 32MB Soundblaster Live Davcom 10/1000 ethernet HP Scanjet 2200C Sandisk Imagemate flash reader
The odd thing is, and maybe this is a clue... When I did the initial install, I couldn't get into the second part of the install (after the system reboots for the first time) until I pulled all my USB devices. So I'm afraid this may be an issue. Some kind of goofy conflict between my USB devices and the video card. If it freezes again I'm going to pull the usb devices for a day and see what happens.

I had lock up with the acpi stuff. Kinda weird how both you have ATI cards. It was a joke earlier on the ATI stuff (because of Ben's affliction, I mean affection with nVidia), maybe there is a link there. Maybe there is a driver problem with the ATI stuff. Can you use the driver from 8.0? -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| -o) | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ /\\ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__|_\_v rsweet@garagenetworks.net "unix soit qui mal y pense."
