Let's see... At http://www.videologic.com, I learn that the card uses the 3Dlabs Permedia2 chipset. At http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/README3.html , I see that the chipset is supported. You need the XF86_3Dlabs x-server. Thus, try this : 1. Upgrade to XFree86, version 3.3.5 ( use apt-get at http://www.debian.org/~vincent/) 2. Get the "xserver-3dlabs" 3. Edit " /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards" ( used by "xf86config" ) adding: NAME David's card CHIPSET permedia 2 SERVER XF86_3DLabs 4. Configure X using "xf86config," looking for the entry " David's card" to select. ( Afterwards, make sure " /etc/X11/Xserver" contains: /usr/bin/X11/XF86_3DLabs ) Additional info' about the chipset at : http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/3DLabs.html Peruse : http://www.xmission.com/~howardm/Xwoes.html Let us know how things work out.
