Thanks Andre, I always appreciate a response, though
sometimes I do forget to let the person know!
I was able to use 32bpp with Sis 530 in 7.1 with XFree3x so where
does this leave us? I will try accepting my fate and
run through the install again and see if the 3x-series works !?
Still only accessing one X window. Any attempt to log on at console
and startx -- :1 etc overrides the F7 default with kde no matter
which user trys?
