You didn't mention the X version you are using (3.3.6?). Did you check the support database to find out if your card is supported. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/cg_ragechips.html Also there is a bios setting to look at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/cg_rage128crash.html Finally, make sure you are using the rage 128 driver (sorry, I don't know the proper name off the top of my head). There are two types of "all in wonder" cards, the new one is based on the rage 128 chip and the older one is mach64 based. IIRC, if you select "ati all in wonder" that will try and use the mach64 driver which would be wrong. You can either select the entry that is most similiar (any with the rage 128 chipset) or hand edit XF86Config to point to the proper driver. Good luck, Tim
