Hi Paul,

Glad your system has become more stable. I tried adding the AGPmode
switch into my conf file, but no good. I still have artefacts on some of
the buttons. (Currently in evolution the +0, Normal and justify left
buttons have different coloured pixels on them. If I fly the mouse over
them, they clear up.)

I wish I new how to write drivers, because this is one issue which is
driving me insane. The system was fine under Breezy, albeit without 3D,
which I still don't have. All I can do is sit back and hope these gun
programmers can suss it out.

Cheers,

Adam
