> OK... How do I check if it is autoprobing? If so, how do I disable it?
Unfortunately, I'm not an X expert, I just happen to have the same card. I'd try running xf86config again, and/or XF86Setup, and look for the autoprobe option (and don't select it). I selected the 'ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] PCI and AGP' since it is almost identical (the ATI Rage Pro 3D chipset is the same). ---Rick > > > > >> Thanks for the hint.
