I think I would keep the 8500DV but get a new motherboard instead. I
had read before that the AGP support on that particular Iwill board was
spotty, but I didn't care because I had never owned an AGP card. Most
other boards out there don't have the same types of problems and I am
sure that Iwill has improved their AGP support in the past two years as
well.
Thanks for describing the problem. It was kinda neat to see the exact
same problem that I had happening to another user :) I mean, it sucks
that it happened to you, but it keeps me from thinking that I was just
doing something wrong with my configuration. :)
Just in case anyone is curious how this story ends...
I've replaced the Iwill KA266-R motherboard with a GigaByte GA-7DXE, and
things work great now with the 8500DV - DVD plays smooth as silk, and XWin
works properly with the default engine.
Excellent! It is good to have confirmation that the 8500 DV isn't the
problem. Now if I can only talk the pre-wife into letting me get a new
motherboard *and* the new All In Wonder 9500... :)
Now, if anyone wants a slightly used KA266-R :-)
I think the one I have is plenty for me. :)
