Normally, no. It may have been broken with the geode driver on 5.1, but I'd be surprised, espcially on Alix, since I have a 3c3 on which I test X regularly. > > I have many of these machines in > production on older releases and have had little problems.

Also forget about X -configure. It's known to be more or less broken and nowadays you don't need an xorg.conf file to run X in most cases. If you need one, your favourite text editor (plus reading xorg.conf(5)) is the best tool to produce one. -- Matthieu Herrb
