yeah, but when Windows breaks, there isn't squat you can do about it but reboot, reinstall, and maybe reformat. :) after trying WinME, in order to play some first-person shooter games; I got frustrated and am going back to X for games. at least when something doesn't work, I feel like I have some options to *do* something about it. Right now I get repeatable framebuffer hangs when using DRI and some games; but hey, I know that I can: 0. tell the X maintainers, and have a reasonable chance of it being fixed sometime soon. 1. try the CVS version of X; so as soon as someone comes up with a fix, I can try it. 2. learn to program video drivers and fix the problem myself. (time consuming, but very satisfying if I succeeded). 3. buy a copy of Accelerated X; which costs money, but usually has better support and more features than XFree. but hey, to each their own. :) Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700 _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
