The problem is that your card is not supported by XFree 4.1 See <http://xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status28.html#28> for more information.

You are using the vga driver, and it does not work properly. I had the same problems with XFree 4.1 and both a S3 TrioV64+ and a old Cirrus Logic card. It should work with XFree 3.3.6. The other alternative is to upgrade to XFree 4.3, this should also support your card. Go to <http://www.apt-get.org> to find some backported packages for Woody. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
