Aha! So while it does have a VESA BIOS it's just not complete. Presumably the vesa code uses some of the less common features to achieve what it does? In a word, it's doesn't work and it's not going to without some really radical changes to the vesa code? Can you confirm/refute this? I'd love to switch the card... unfortunately this is a laptop and I really don't fancy soldering it; might void my Sony warranty ;) -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |-
