That are the old X servers i made in January. They also contain Geert's fbdev patch. (X --probeonly should give you the same output as above). Please try the following server : http://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~luther/xfree/XF68_FBDev_pm2_4.gz its just the the XF68_FBDev, that you must copy in place of the old one. Best would be to change the name of the server to point to it in /etc/X11/Xserver. > > To answer Sven, option "noaccel" in my XF86Config didn't seem to make a > difference.
