Of course, the existance of a bug doesn't mean it will ever be fixed... My old graphics card (mach64 variant) worked badly with xfree86 4.x (whereas it worked fine with 3.x). There was a debian bug for the problem, and it had been reported upstream I think, but probably wasn't important enough for anybody to pay attention to... [Eventually my solution was to buy a new cheapo gfx card -- I found one that's also long "obsolete" but much better supported by modern X, and it only cost me $5 (brand new)...] -Miles -- `Life is a boundless sea of bitterness'
