I've had some luck using the XF86_SVGA server from XFree86 3.3.4, and specifically using the binary from the tarball from xfree86.org. I have had no luck using any of the Debian-packaged X servers, nor with any more recent X server. The only thing is, this server seems to have about a 50% chance of failure on restart, where "failure" means "takes down entire system with it". So now I'm using the XF86_FBDev server, which is actually giving more or less equivalent performance at the cost of a much worse refresh rate (43 Hz interlaced vs. 60Hz noninterlaced). You might try reading the kernel documentation for 2.2.* kernels or look at the Framebuffer-HOWTO. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
