Really? That cant be right. My card get identified as a radeon 7500 by all of ATI's utils. I have checked with the site and basically my card and the radeon 7500 have all the same specs except my card has a few extra ports on it(DV-I and TV-out). It also have native support for extending the desktop accross two screens and then have a 3rd running with a different display on it. I dont know why the 7500 would cost double of the VE, but as far as I can tell they are the same except the VE has a few more features. But whatever, that is what I see. And on the subject of XF86 4.1, I am sure it said it had full support for radeon chips. -- -Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
