Hi All,

My Arachnes (1.66 and 171) can no longer render jpgs, but gifs are still
ok.  All I get now is a file name in the upper left corner, and sometimes
an error message about SOS jpeg sequencing being invalid, with a broken-
up picture.  Whereas before I added a Trident 8900C video card, windoze
browsers and all my W95 graphics apps. rendered terrible pictures and
arachne shone; now W95 apps render fine.

I changed my video setup because I thought the S3 video setup built into
the motherboard had gone bad.  Now I'm pretty sure that's not the case,
but if I take the new card out and plug my monitor into the motherboard
outlet again, I don't get any video whatsoever.  I never reset any
jumpers though and the added video card worked right away.  I don't have
any specs for my DEC Venturis 575 motherboard, to alter jumpers anyway.

On a related note, I tried installing Linux (RH 7.0) and as you probably
guessed "No X".  Even command line "xf86config" couldn't budge the old
S3 out of the way.  Is there any help? I'd hate to be stuck with windoze.
