Wilhelm, O.K., I fixed my XFree86 problem and am now running 4.1.0.1. Now my question is, how do I get it running in 1024x768 or 1280x1024? I am using the FBDevice and the only options configure in my XF86Config-4 is "800x600" and "640x480". Can I just add entries for "1024x768", etc to the XF86Config-4?

I thought they were using 2.4 now?? kernel version is independent of distribution version. You can run Debian 3.0 on top of either a 2.2 or a 2.4 kernel. If your 2.2 kernel is supporting all your hardware, no need to mess with it. >Also, the dpkg output says xfree86-common 4.1.0-16 but I don't get a >xfree86.log.0 in /var/log and the xdm.log still shows 3.3.6. Any clue >there? Okay, try this: open a terminal window under X and run: xdpyinfo | more and look for the XFree86 version number. Also, you might running gdm instead of xdm? Are you using the gnome desktop? Do: ps ax | grep xdm and ps ax | grep gdm If you are running gdm, your logs are in /var/log/gdm -- ______________________________________________________________________ Wilhelm Fitzpatrick | When we speak of free http://www.3roses.com/ | software we are referring [EMAIL PROTECTED] | to freedom not price.
