You could try this: apt-get install discover apt-get install mdetect XFree86 -configure This will build a XF86Config file based on the autodetection of hardware. It works nicely. You may have trouble with the mouse detection, so if you have problems check that part of the config file that's generated. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
