On the #1 machine :
===== ===== =====
[root@localhost btth]# lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
K8M890
[Chrome9] Integrated Video (rev 01)
[root@localhost btth]#
It appears to be the same as mine:
[root@localhost ~]# lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890 [Chrome9] Integrated
Video (rev 11)
[root@localhost ~]#
Start you machine in level 3, you shall see the difference. Read my other post, it will
tell you my experience.

Antonio
