To answer my own questoin, the X4.x supports the twister video card with the Savage driver on the xserver. The only mode I couldn't configure was 640/480, where the mouse doesn't want to line up with the page (odd). I haven't tested the 24bit yet either, but I'll try it after I finish the rest of my installation. Is this fun? I would still like to learn the full parameters of the LCD display. Guess it is time to start pounding on Gateways support center. THanks all, sri for bugging the list! tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN.
