Yeah, its loading. I think everything back to the TNT2 supports OpenGL. 
The ti4600's are more powerful than a MX4000 or a 5200. Just an older 
chipset. I seem to recall having this working long ago but I don't 
remember the specifics of what I had when I did it. Although I can't 
rule out the possibility that I'm thinking about a time frame when I had 
a MX4000 or a 5200 in it, the 5200 burned out and the 4000 just didn't 
have the quality of video out that this conexent based video encoder has 
so I threw it in another frontend. (it gave wavy lines where as this one 
is crystal clear)
