Are you using XF86_SVGA??? This is the old 3.3.x monolithic X-server. No work has been done on this server for a long time and so it is very out of date. It should only be used for those cards that are so old that no one bothered porting their support to the newer XFree 4.x.x servers. The XFree 4.x.x servers name is "XFree". Check where /usr/X11R6/bin/X and perhaps /etc/X11/X are linked to, to see what server you are using. > Can someone explain to me what that XF86_SVGA is? See above > Can I use it to run GNOME?
