I editted nv_dac.c in both versions (4.1.0 and 4.0.2) according to the diff results you sent. 4.1.0 works well now; however, 4.0.2 still exhibits the same behavior. Although this is a non-issue to me, perhaps closer examination of the 4.0.2 source is in order. The XFree86 project is too large for me to hack thu, so I'll leave it up to another. Thanks for the help. On Sat, 15 Sep 2001 13:03:28 -0700 (PDT) Mark Vojkovich wrote: > On Sat, 15 Sep 2001, deadice wrote: > > > I understand that you answered the question for 4.1.0.
