Jim,

Not really, the couple pieces of hardware that I have actually work fine
with centos 4.2 - however - when I then want to connect something out of the 
ordinary like a monitor that does 1366x768 it is not supported in the current
driver. 

My other monitor problem was the driver freezing up. New card will take care of that.

Thanks,

Jerry
