Hi Andrew, I tried both, even setting NvAgp to "0", but no luck. I also tried to play with ReqAGP to force lower AGP rates, still the problem remains. Of the three cards, the only one which keeps not working is the 5200. I wonder if it is an AGP issue, but even using the Kernel AGP made no difference. Any other idea ? Or someone having that same card + same kernel ? (chipset is via kt400). Thanks, Luca. Andrew L.
