Hi Richard and Dan I have so far come to the conclusion that S3 cards don't work well with 'X' version 4.10 and that they do work ok with 'X' version 3.xx . In the Compaq machines you mention I gave up and disabled the S3 card with the bios program (available from Compaq) and used Tseng Labs et4000 or et6000 cards and they work well with 'X' version 4.10 .
'X' 4.10 needs a video card specified in its config file and it loads the relevant driver. This version has support for more 3D stuff. 'X' 3.xx needs a video card specified and then an Xserver eg S3 or SVGA. Hope this helps Robyn _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
