If i boot from agp i cannot get sax started or xf86setup or xf86config i
tried all the options for it (cl.gd5465  " Laguna 3D fam.") it locks the
computer totally with a blank screen sometimes a few white streaks, with the
only option to hard boot.If i boot pci no probs and it loads the server for
the cl-gd 5446,it even finds the 5465 i see it in kde 1.1 but the screen
stays blank not even a flicker till i reboot.
thanx anyway
