7 I've never had a problem running tuxracer with 3xxx or 4xxx, including these latest drivers
8 on 2 machines (kt133a and now kt266a) with agpgart with a ti4200.

10 The only things I've had to change are (i) increasing the agp aperture size to
11 128mb, and, on the kt266a machine disabling sideband addresssing (which is
12 disabled by default anyway, but enabling it caused glitches, flashing and
13 crashes - but on just about every 3d program - it didn't improve the
14 performance for the short periods it ran either, so nothing lost afaict)
15
16 That said, I've not noticed any 2d problems so it's probably chipset / mobo /
17 gfx card specific (and, unless I missed it? I didn't see you say which card you
18 had)
