If memory serves me right, the IBM Thinkpad T40 has an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video chipset - you won't need ATI's binary driver to get decent 3D on this machine as X's own DRI-enabled open source driver (ati) would be apt for the task. You could add these in the "Device" section for your video: Option "Accel" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "EnablePageFlip" "1" Option "AGPFastWrite" "1" Option "HWCursor" "1" Option "DDCMode" "yes" -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
