I've heard of this happening to other people, though honestly I don't know what might be causing it. I've also heard that other people have solved this problem by upgrading to X.org, but I can't make any guarantees about how well that might work for you. My Asus mobo has nvidia hardware for the AGP slot, but the actual card is made by ATI, so I haven't had any personal experience with dealing with it. BTW, just today I installed Firefox, and I ran pkgdb -F to fix stale dependencies on XFree86. However, in doing so I also discovered that the reason docproj wasn't working as I installed it is because it also had stale dependencies on XFree86. If you are familiar with the interactive way you can fix these issues with pkgdb -F, then you shouldn't have any problems, but you should check if there are issues whenever you install or update applications, just in case. I knew Firefox depended on XFree86 by the build and clean messages, but I wasn't paying attention during the docproj build. Anyhoot, like I said before installing X.org now means an extra step or two on your part after installing X dependent apps, but it also shouldn't be an issue when the next STABLE is released. > And yes i did realise the mistake, i think 10mhz was there slowest thou Really? I wasn't aware Athlon had been around that long ... - jt
