You need to upgrade to Version 3.3.6, 3.3.2 is very old. There is a very good linux laptops page at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ General installation: We recommend using XF86Setup to configure your server. (It requires XF86_VGA16 too). Use xf86config if that fails. The instructions to set it up correctly are on the Web site: ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/README ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/RELNOTES etc. ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/binaries/YourOS/... -- Joseph W.
