I know.  I hate it that Flash is a criteria for usefulness.  At least I'm
not asking for WoW-capable.

Thanks for the vid-card advice.  How 'bout the other questions?  I find the
lsmod says nothing about "sis".  Should the sis driver be loaded by xorg?  I
tried generating a xorg.conf, which lists "sis" as the driver.  I restarted
gdm and lsmod still doesn't list sis.  Before buying a new vid-card I'd like
to make sure the current one is configured and not using a generic vesa
driver.  I can modprobe sis, and then lsmod shows it.  How do I force it to
load on reboot, and force xorg to use it?

Thanks,
Kendall
