Hmmm...I wonder if that is related to something strange I saw: Something I ran to auto-detect the amount of video reported twice the amount I thought I had (1MB vs. 2MB). (Sorry I don't recall if it was SuperProbe I ran manually or something run in the and package configuration--probably the latter.) By the way, for me X works fine with the correct value in XF86Config. Daniel -- Daniel S. Barclay Compass Design Automation, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suite 100, 5457 Twin Knolls Rd.
