Hi,

Hmmm.  That will have to be another project added to the
list of projects I'm wanting to do.  I'll have to upgrade
my garage computer to Slackware 8.0 (including the XFree86
4.1.0 sources) and then get the XFree86 3.3.6 sources from
the Slackware 7.1 CDROM.  Not a difficult undertaking, but
I've some other tasks I must get back to.  It was hoping
that my upgrade to Slackware 8.0 would be a weekend activity,
but I've spent two weeks on it now.  Can't guess when I'll
get to interlace support or the amount of work involved.
I'll probably start on it this Spring.

In the meantime, I've taken the XF86_SVGA binary from 3.3.6
and installed it on my system.  Everything else is still
the 4.1.0 distribution from Slackware 8.0.  I'm now running
back at 1024x768 on my NEC MultiSync 3V with the Cirrus PCI
video card.  No monitor shutdowns occuring.  It is a curious
thing!

Mac
