It says First video: Super-VGA Chipset: S3 Vision964 (PCI Probed) Memory: 2048 Kbytes RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode)) Is this information supposed to be helpful to me in some way? I run XF86Setup, and choose SVGA server. It gives me a list of chipsets to choose from - none of them say S3 Vision964, or Vision964. It gives me a list of RamDacs to choose from. None of them say "generic". It gives me a list of clock chips - I still don't know what my clock chip is. > That's not really a Debian issue, technically speaking.

The machine is there mostly to run samba, apache, apache-ssl and php4. I need a solid, stable ftp client which will work through a gateway, and the ability to ssh in from other machines on the network. Or is there a later package I can install on my existing system? -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd. PC & Unix consultancy & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trumphurst.com/
