Really I don't have a clue on how to do it x.x ! Intrestingly enough though .... I have managed to get X running - albeit very slowly by using the vesa driver. After getting nowhere trying to compile that driver (I lack the knowledge to do so!) I wondered what might happen if I just tried running "xorgsetup" . Intrestingly enough this worked and it appears to be using some sort of vesa driver. Didn't know this was possible -- I always thought vesa was x86 only. Right now I'm trying out xfce4 (armedslack 13.1). Here's what I've found so far; * Screen redrawing can be a problem sometimes but can be fixed. For example opening a window and then minimising it might loose part of the background with (say) the "home" icon on it, moving a window over the affected area and back again restores it. This *dosen't* happen all the time however. * Playing a small video file in xine worked. It was rather slow and stuttery but played ok. * Firefox runs slowly but is usable. ljones -- :) SP
