    i did have a look around google, and couldnt find anything. this could mean 3 things:
    1) its supported, works and no-one has ever had a problem with it
    2) I need more training on using google
    3) It is a rare card, and no one has ever tried to get it working under linux (or they have, but never posted it on the net)
    4) ???

    lol yea..i didn't know this but there is a "Google for dumbies" book. i'm afraid to read it because it's a large book and i don't know enough of google to encompass a large book. and i don't wanna get schooled in the use of a search engine...

    I googled and found a BSD thread on this issue.

    http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/...5&pagenumber=1

    I didn't read through everything on both pages, but it sounds like that card works for some, and not for others.

    Hopefully some of this will translate to Slackware for you. You're still on Slack, aren't ya?
