Firstly what is the make of your Banshee card. My experience is that the well known brands like SB and Diamond give more trouble. I have a PowerColor Evil Queen 16Mb, has worked great ever since I installed it?

Sorry about that wickedly un-wrapped message I posted before... Anyway, it is a Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee. My reason for choosing the Creative was almost solely based on price. Even the uncommon brands, like your own PowerColor (which I have re- gretfully never heard of), were more expensive ($105-130 US) than mine at $99 US. Also, I knew that Creative has kept up on 3Dfx video BIOS revisions. Now, I haven't even tried to install the server yet, and am frankly intimidated by the prospect. My version of SaX (included with SuSE 6.0) does not recognize or support my Banshee-based card, so it's going to take some editing. The frame buffer has officially made it to my "never-do-this-again" list, so I'm left to flounder around with Pico and configuration scripts. I don't suppose you'd mail me a copy of your XF86Config, would you :) ? For reference, I'm using a Smile CL1414 monitor, which is capible of 1600 by 1200 at 16-bit color (that's what I use un- der Windows). It is very satisfying for a budget model monitor. -=|JP|=- -=|JP|=- ________________________________________ That's the Weekly (Funny) Farm Report from Kansas City. Keep us posted on events there.
