Hello Roberto again; Have rebooted and sorted out PC regarding to the new kernel - it loads the AGPGART module and detects the G550 card no problem. Still OpenGL doesn't work on both heads of the G550, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [EMA

Hmmm, alright, here's what it looks like to me . . . What you are seeing with the framebuffer stuff is for the console. That's what allows your console to print its text. When you load X it is not loading the modules or it can't find them. To find out whether there is support in the kernel, you

Hello, Sure. Make sure that whatever kernel you're using has support built for it, load the module, and start up X. Make sure you're loading the dri module. Strange - as I've got 2 graphics cards and 3 monitors, an el cheapo TNT2 and the G550. The desktop "on" the TNT2 shows OpenGL application
