I have two computer both running Linux.  I kept my old faithful Diamond
Fire GL1000 Pro working with RHL 6.0.  I installed on my second computer
Diamond Stealth III.  I have not yet been able to get Linux to work
correctly on the second computer since the graphic upgrade.  I did see
icons which is about 1/16th the size of 17" monitor which may have looked
like it is running in 320X200.  Quite large to be useful.  I understood
that alot of new technology could run Linux users into trouble.  Welcome to
the business world when they have been making MS Windows drivers but no or
at least not enough drivers available for Linux.  They should start making
drivers for such an OS since more and more users are using Linux.  Linux
would have benefited alot if it happened that way.  I know there are
workarounds and drivers available in newer release of XFree86.  I have same
question as Jim.  Did anyone have a good suggestion?  Diamond Stealth III I
have has the S3 Savage4+ Pro 128-bit chipset w/32mb ram.

Thanks
Chris
