Hi Jim,

Which Highpoint controller?  I never had any problems with my
HPT366 on my Abit BP6 motherboard running Mandrake 7.x to 9.1.
What I might suggest, however, is to make sure your dns and
/etc/hosts file are both setup correctly.  X does everything
over the network so if it has trouble finding the local address
(yeah, I know it sounds weird, but...) things can go wonky.

Cheers,
Tanner
