if you build X out of CVS, you should have a lot better luck. there's a really active hacker working on the SiS 630 this past week; so it should work a lot better now. :) or else wait until X 4.2; which some say may be out by February... maybe. :) 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
