Thanks for reply... I don't know anything about frame buffering in
this video card ... have never done it. Card has worked under SuSE
and a previous Debian (Woody) without doing anything to it. Dual
boot with Win98se.
No BusID appears in Device section of the XF86Config-4, I tried
putting it in and hosed the system -- am now reloading, so will try
the Vesa driver when I get it up running again.
lspci gives address of 0000:00:8.0 for the video card.
