I have one of these. However, you may need to get the 3.1.2D beta Xfree86 to make it work properly. The ibm 526 ramdac is not supported in the base version. It can be made to work as another ibm type ramdac I think. Read all of the doco's to make sure you set it up right. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
