he he, I sympathise. Sounds like an interrupt problem to me. I have used Linux and nVidea/ATI cards with Linux with no problem after setting up. What type of card do you have?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/8/07,

The problem with 3D desktops, or any 3D functionality whatsoever, is<br>that I own a motherboard which, by all appearances Linux should support,<br>it even has a menu item in the configuration system specifically listing<br>
my chipset, but it doesn't. instead linux crashes instantly and<br>completely whenever I try to do anything at all with anything even<br>remotely related to 3D, even the simplest diagnostics will crash my<br>computer. Therefore my position is that nobody should be permitted to
<br>use, develop, or even discuss any 3D application of any kind, under<br>penalty of law, until my computer is restored to full operation. =|<br><br>--<br>|/-\|/-\|<br><br></blockquote></div><br>
