Hi Nate, I'm not suspecting the driver for now. I'm using a Matrox Millenium G200 ... Not go near kernel 2.4 ... What do you mean ? i've used my card in every recent linux install without prior problems ...

[] []good luck ....and check xfree86's website for any known []issues with your video chip. [] []nate [] []
