Approx a 6 in square is all of the 17" display that is being used by the XORG6.9 system. I have googled on this and searched here. Although there are variations on the theme for this card under various Linux distro's, none of the fixes appear to do-it-for-me. I have tried using a few other card types to no avail - even legacy.

Also I dual boot WinME and Mandrake 7.2 at the moment. I shouldn't have trouble adding a newer Linux to tri-boot should I. After installing Mandriva 2006.0 I lost the ability to reboot all but the Mandriva 2006.0. Luckily I had some PQDImages from a couple of weeks earlier - dead lucky!
