Dear Sir; I have resolved this problem. It is a buggy X driver! In order to use these cards, please use a colour depth of 16 bits at 1024x768 (or whatever). The reason they crash is because the C drivers don't like the 32 bit colour depth I was using. 24 bit depth is yet untested but hey, who cares, i'm in 1024x768 mode and it RUNS GREAT! :) Oops, make that X drivers. Even thought they *were* probably written in C... hee :) this will be fixed for the next release. |
