Hi, all. I forgot who posted the question about the updated free server,
but thanks. I just downloaded the most recent version, installed it an
Presto working X-server. The version that works is dated from December,
don't remember the date of the last version. Of course I have some
tweaking, the refresh rate is not quite right (flicker) and the rendering
is not exact (some menus are cut off). If you are interested in further
progress I am sure steve will keep his web page updated. Those of you who
were CC'd were listed on Steves page as having contributed to fixes for
the xserver. http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/
