Actually, it does have a Matrox Millenium G400 AGP card. I had not heard
about the Athlon/AGP bug and so did not have the "nopentium" option set up in
/etc/lilo.conf. Since I originally started with aic7xxx, I'll switch back to
that from aic7xxx_old and give the "nopentium" option a try to see if there is
any change.
With Thanks
