I actually commented the change in my xorg.conf file :-). If "NoInt10" isn't "true", there's a probe for the video BIOS which fails on the Alpha (or at least, that *used* to be the case). Since I can't access the video BIOS, I have to use the default connector table too. Are you claiming that the current X server on Alpha can now do something useful with a x86 video BIOS? If that's true, I *am* impressed. --Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
