Dan, I live in the Southwest Metro are you still parting with those old video cards?

Its pure PCI - close to 20 years old or more. It was the only thing I had after I swapped hardware around that would work... my "better" retired video cards were AGP... but this MB doesn't have an AGP slot. Think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Trio Before the upgrade, it worked, and managed a laughable 640x480. After the upgrade, the TTYs are all garbled (probably wrong timing) and while the logon screen works - so X sometimes works - on logon, it immediately segfaults. I'm sure I could fix it... but I just don't care to :) Usually with upgrading on an LTS now means --- nothing new is gonna happen for about 4 years. Which is just what I want on this computer. Every time I upgrade it, I waste a day fixing what they broke :( _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
