Actually ... control is behind the "chaos" chip which is a PCI device (it contains DBDMA engines so one could theorically write some blit acceleration there ...) I'm surprised that chaos isn't showing up there, could be a problem with the PCI code on these old machines. Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
