It worked in 3.0r2 (Woody). I just dug out the old CDs and did a minimal install in a spare partition, and everything works. So, something broke between then and now. The XF86Config file looks the same, except that it has the right modes in it, and the mouse pointer works right. And this is with two different (and common) low-end video cards. Is there any point in trying to install an older version of xfree86, or would that break things? Other than this issue, I really like Sarge (considering that I've only had it running for a few hours :-). I'm reluctant to start easter-egging video cards unless someone can recommend one that's (1) relatively cheap and (2) known to work with old motherboards (2x AGP slot). The ones they have in the stores now are for gamers who have the latest motherboards and care about performance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
