I will try adding the "dri" now. I had previously updated all xorg stuff to the latest, which it got from one of the sources I added, (I believe from ftp.gwdg.de..., but not sure). The version for xorg now is 7.2-146.7-i586. Will revert. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
