Paul I have acquaintances who never did get X up under Red Hat using the SiS6326 card. That card is apparently S3 based, but SiS does something really bizarre with it. However, one of my students got X up (late last winter) with Debian after a bit of fiddling. He replaced the 3.3.2 X server with the 3.3.3.1 server, then modified the XF86config file to make the thing work well. I understand that RH 6 has 3.3.3 X. I don't know about specific SiS6326 support. I would like to have a comparison of device support available from Red Hat with that from Debian. Can you address this? Or perhaps someone on this list can answer this. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
