One word of warning I should mention. For some reason, every once in a while the graphics get screwed up, especially on the enlightenment menus and application scrolling. A quick solution to this is to drop down to a virtual terminal ctrl+alt+F1 and then switch back to X alt+F7, then everything should be back to normal although you may have a slightly messy screen, but that can be tidyed up by moving or shade/unshading the windows...
Its a small price to pay and means you dont have to restart anything... Johnny. > > Thank you for your answer. I am running the modified xserver Mach64 from > > Steve's Dell-pages.
