Ah, that would explain the "I don't have source, so don't pretend I know anything" message I saw on one page.. I did see that there's a project at Sourceforge for a reverse-engineered open source driver [http://acx100.sf.net/], but it looks like it's a long way from being usable. I suppose it would be a good thing to play with for anyone who has an extra card laying around, but don't let anyone go running to CompUSA to go pick up an adapter based on that chipset just yet... -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ I'd love to go out with / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ you, but I want to spend \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) more time with my blender.
