Doh! Too bad I didn't know that before I bought my card. The XFree86 website says it works... Which xserver are you using, BTW? The SVGA one or the SiS one (the SiS one I found has a different prefix in the name and seems to have been built by some company, I don't have the box in front of me right now). | manually. If you are intrested, I can send you the xf86config file from home. | I could successfully use it with less memory than it has. Yes! Please send me your XF86Config file. I have the same card (8MB model) and haven't yet gotten X configured the way I want it (so I'm still using it console-only, but I have gotten even more proficient with bash :-)). I was able to get 800x600 at ~16 bit color, I think, but I want 1024x768 at 24 or 32 bpp (which I used to have with my previous ATI Rage LT Pro). Then I saw nice pink blocks when a window or menu was closed. I'm not sure if it was the card or the monitor since I was using an old monitor that I don't have any specs for. (I did read the man page and was configuring by hand, but I don't think I quite "get it" yet) -D
