Is > your /etc/X11/XF86Config OK? No it does not dup core. It can only work in 800x600 mode and using C-A-Backspace to change mode only works for 640x480 and the monitor cannot display it in higher mode. This is a minor problem for now. My major problem is that I cannot read text in xterms.
Highlighting text makes it unreadable. It is hard to explain but generally X is unusable. Is there an easy way I can get back to the previous X? The problem is not with XF86Config file. It worked before with Debian 1.1 and 1.2.4 and 1.2.8. I tried to generate a new one but it had similar problem. I thought the problem where fonts so I proceeded to comment some lines in XF86Config file and this did not help any. > What permissions does dip have ("ls -al /usr/sbin/dip"; on my system > "-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip", thus only root and members of group "dip" can > use it)? Which users are in group "dip"? I solved this by chmod o+x /usr/sbin/dip. I am the only user on the system and I am in the dialout group which may have owned dip before. I forgot how to add a group to a user so I just chmod it. I may need to get back to the old X because it used to work fine and I really did not need any new Xserver. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D.J.
