I installed the appropriate server, went [snipped] : : There are many problems with the ET4000/W32 cards. You can try a beta : version from XFREE or try my solution--replace the card with one that : works under the present XFREE86 distribution.
To clarify the situation: 3.1.2 had a few problems that caused them to not work with ET4000/W32 revisions A or B. (I have a revision A at home, FWIW.) These bugs have been fixed, and 3.1.2E works fine on my home system. I would suggest that you install 3.1.2, but not configure it, from the debian packages; move it to another directory (or tar it up), and replace it with the 3.1.2E distribution from ftp.xfree86.org or its mirrors. This should rectify the situation. -- Windows is not the answer. Windows is the question. Linux is the answer. http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/ for all your PC software requirements.
