Crazy, isn't it ? <snip> Me too, AND if you look at the Linux Laptop Website in the Toshiba section there is a report from the owner of a -254 IIRC and although he had problems They did not seem insurmountable with a current release of XFree86, and all the information I could find seemed to indicate the graphics path were the same between the -254 and the -274 which influenced me to acquire the -274, (Along with the reasonable price at which Fry's were offering the -274). So I got the thing and the truth is out. Go figure! So I guess my question is, "How long until the release of XFree86 4.2?" In the meantime I finally will have to dig in and learn cvs. :-) dlg PS: I do not know about the -204 but except for the "little bump" in the X Windows road I am pretty happy with the -274. I do hate booting up XP (gag,hack) just to see the display in all its beauty. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
