Thanks very much Sven: sorry you had to waste so much time, but at least you thereby saved me from doing likewise! I've bought a ATI Radeon 7500 via eBay, let's see if that's a useful replacement for this old system. (I've already been having luck with xorg with an ATI Radeon 9600 in a newer system that can take such things.) -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
