All on floppies? Yikes! I did some patches to XFree86 about the 3.1.2/3.2 timeframe, that were never integrated into the official sources. It probably wouldn't be a big deal to try them against 3.3.6, as things in the WD driver prolly didn't change much during that time. Biggest problem: I've got to find them, and I'm not having much luck... :-\ --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
