ATI All-In-Wonder 32meg (not VE) Actually, I was running Mandrake8.1, and I spent a lot of time on the xfree list, after about 3 weeks of [EMAIL PROTECTED] with it, I swaped the card out with an 8meg ATI and have not seen the problem anymore. I will probably try again soon, but the 3 weeks of agony (not to mention lost productivity) takes some time to get over ;-) John
