Configuring the graphics card The "Device" section in your xorg.conf should mostly work unchanged. However, if you have any issues, here's a few steps you can try: * Try commenting out all "Options" in the "Device", "Screen" and "Monitor" sections in your xorg.conf * Even better, try running Xorg without any xorg.conf (you can rename it to xorg.conf.old) I got a pair but I'm not sure they are big enough to try that. I'm keeping mine if I upgrade and it works OK for me. Dale :-) :-)
