Ah, that works, linux is up and running now :) Upgrading to 2.4.16-32 even allows me to use a graphics console, so thats all great. However, i do not see the penguin while booting and XFree doesnt seem to work, so i suppose the framebuffer device doesn't work (?) I found in the mailinglist archive the thread "XFree86 on B180" that suggests it might work if you treat this card as an 'artist graphics card'. I'd be more than happy to test that if someone could give me some details on how to do that. Thanks, Arjen Hommersom
