I can't remember the motherboards off the top of my head. The
XP2100 is an Asus something, and the P4 is from Dell, I can check when
I get home. <br>
<br>
Steve-- I have the standard xorg.conf that came with the fglrx driver. Is there a flag I need to add? <br>
<br>
Marius-- This is the default kernel that linux uses if you have a
hyperthreading processor. The fglrx driver seems to work fine,
unless it is causing this problem of course.<br>
