I've included both that and my current XF86Config-4 file, in case someone can use those to help me out. It seems, though, that it's not entirely reliable. Sometimes (maybe 1 time in 5) I actualy get something -- it's garbled, but there's enough there for me to focus on the xterm and type 'exit'. It's a bit difficult to test, given 8+ gigs of disk to fsck every time I crash, but I'm fairly certain by now that its both crashed and given the above result for several versions of my config (some of which were using dexter, some xf86config -- xf86cfg crashes on me). So at this point, I want my X back. I've seen people on the list talk about going back to XFree 3.x; can someone give me a way to do it that doesn't involve removing X (and all the dependancies), going back to potatio, installing X, and moving back to woody? None of the Xfree 3.x servers currently available in woody will support my card. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03
