I suggest you try the following : 1. Upgrade XFree86 to the latest version via http://www.debian.org/~vincent, using apt-get 2. Read : http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/cirrus.html for options you may have to include in the XF86Config file. 3. Specify the XF86_SVGA x -server when you configure X. Cheers, Howard Mann.
