Dang. You ppl got me all pumped up about SU, so I tried to run it on Linux.
Problem is, my video card is so ancient, the retro Linux drivers Matrox
created for it stopped at a major X developement junction. Now, I have no
choice but to get a newer video card or install an old version of W2K,
something I'm loath to do. Oh well, I'll slog on. I've been impressed by
the info on SU I've seen and would like to do a complete model of the
deck I'm renovating. If I ever do get it running on Linux and my ancient
hardware, I'll post a howto.

Being a rebel has it's cost.
Why not buy a cheap windows computer on Craigs list for less than the
cost of a new video card?

Were you able to get it to install under Cross-over or some other Wine
wrapper?

If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough
Why not dual boot so you can run whatever you need, assuming your
problem is with drivers rather than your video card? You can't buy a
computer without windows can you? Must have a copy or 3 somewhere...
