I know it works with 6.4. I actually still have my 6.4 disk tucked away in my desk. Are you using x4.0 or x3.3? What have you tried??? What happens??? Need an XF86CONFIG file??? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com

It also depends on which ViperII you have. There are several models and each uses a different chipset. I had a ViperII Z220 32mb. It used the S3 chipset and was not supported in any version of X 4, only in X 3.386 and then using the S3 driver mod. Charles Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
