I haven't actually used 2.4.0 yet, but today I re-installed my machine onto a gateway-everything-built-into-the-motherboard-crap machine which happens to have an i810. I didn't actually do anything special. I replaced the s3-xserver package with the svga-xserver package, recompiled the kernel with agpgart support, and it just worked. Didn't even have to change my XF86Config file or anything. I was expecting lots of trouble, but it was a breeze. Even the onboard sound worked first go. I believe that 2.4.0 has agpgart support the same as 2.2.18. This is using X 3.3.6 (from Potato). HTH, damon -- Damon Muller http://killfilter.com GPG Key: 0xA136E829
