The default XFree 4.1 in Woody seems to have a broken vesa driver. You already discovered that the vesa driver is OK in version 4.2 You can also apt-get install xserver-s3 from the Woody sources, I have had some luck with that on old s3 trio cards. Or install xserver-s3v if need be for s3 virge chipsets. HTH Bob Parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
