I saw that in the bugzilla entry just now, but I tried those with no luck.

16bit depth at any res causes the same problems (this was my original

I tried SuSE AS 9.0 on this machine and once had X completely lock up, now
it seems like we might know why.  Other than that, SuSE works, FC1 worked,
Windows NT and 2k worked.

Sadly, this card is built into the machine, and I am not sure there is an
AGP slot, I will have to take it apart and see.  In understand that not
everything works in linux all the time, but it is sad to see a piece of
hardware that was "safe" suddenly become unusable.

I hope, but I doubt.

I was wondering if I turned DRI, etc. off, if it might work normally... I
wonder exactly what is failing. Someone mentioned before bad memory, but
according to dmesg, this card has 4mb dedicated memory.
