I have gathered some additional information. The following is the output of lspci: File: lspci-out 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3189 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device b168 00:0b.0 Communication controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1040 00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Question is are they the correct modules? I am still working on the rest of the last post. Dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 will not run it says that XFree86-Config-4 is not installed and quits the program. I also ran dselect and selected the configure option and tryed again. Same output as before. Hope this helps. Hoyt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
