Specifically, it was using Xserver-s3v rather than X 4. If you left X, the machine became un-usable: I recall having to connect over the network to shut it down, and having to document how to do that for the customer. I know; I should have used a different card: but there were deadlines involved... cheers, Rich. -- rich walker | Shadow Robot Company | [EMAIL PROTECTED] technical director 251 Liverpool Road | need a Hand?
