Thanks I'll try that later today. Is there anything specific I should know about configuring the FB support for this card before i begin? I'm downloading kernel 2.4.12 now. What version are you using?
Sorry I can't really be specific with the above question but I've never compiled FB support in any past kernels? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, dman, Ken O yeah my apologies to the list for sending the HTML mail havnt sent mail from outlook in a LONG time forgot to uncheck it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 12:09 PM Subject: Re: Grainy X? > On Thu, Oct 18, 2001 at 11:29:57AM -0400, Ken Mead wrote: > > | I'm on a a20m IBM laptop, with a ATI rage mobilty vid card.
