Yes. rpm -e the new one, and change your XFree86 config file back to its original condition (changing, what, two or three lines). > I sometimes experience strange effects in X where the display looks like > repetitions of 15 or so horizontal lines, making reading it impossible, and > all I can do is a reboot. Perhaps the new drivers would fix this problem. Reboot? Are you not able to simply restart the X server? Miark
