Does anyone > know how what I need to get this to work? Most S3 chips are well supported, but which one do you have? If it is one of the newer ones, it may be that there is no driver available for it yet. You may be able to find out what kind of chip this is using SuperProbe, which I believe probes the PCI hardware. So it may not work if you have AGP. That will at least give you a place to start. If this doesn't identify the chip, I believe S3 has a utility you can download from their site to identify the chip. -- Derek D.
