Like I said before: If you MB is 8x you will need to patch your 2.4 kernel with 8x support (or if you can set your BIOS to 4x only mode) or use a 2.6 kernel. once you have that done you can just use the DRI snapshots. This will allow you to use 4x mode. if you want to use 8x, you will have to apply michel/hui's, or keith's 8x patch. Alex --- tacorner@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > I've got my new machine with the Radeon 9200.
