Does adding: Load "xaa" into the "module" section of xorg.conf help? Cheers, -- Guido
I fear I may never know ... As part of the demo, I donated the machine to one of the other users in the group. I might be able to get him to try it. However I did get X to run thanks to Phil's suggestion. I added: Option "no_accel" to the newport driver section of xorg.conf and it made the problem (and unfortunately xaa) go away.
