But I still have a few problems.. Mostly: 1. Flicker - (new problem). Now I have pretty bad flicker in X. Don't really understand it because I think the refresh rate is 85 Hz. and I am not interlaced and not exceeding the monitor specs. 2. Wincast will still ocasionaly hangs with IDE timeouts. By far not as bad as before, but still happens.. BUT, I discovered something that might have been causing me problems. I was IRQ sharing between my ethernet and video card. I am trying to get a Digiboard so that I can free up some of my IRQ's. Bernie
