Damien, Thanks for your message. This is most useful. I don't know if you will have seen my response to Matt Brubeck on this subject, but in it I said I was coming to this conclusion about the version also, but that my next question is, can I upgrade just XFree86, or even just the driver, rather than the whole system? Any advice here would be most appreciated. Thanks again for you reply. Mike
