So you use KMS and get good performance? I'll give it a go. Any ideas if its something being worked on - old workhorses like this are perfect low cost Linux workstations and it's a shame things break so regularly in video-land. I use testing on all my machines and its only this one that video is a hit and miss affair. When Squeeze goes stable I'll probably keep it there then. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
