Seems 4.x aint compatible with my display card, so using 3.3.6a and cannot get a resolution higher than 640 x 480 - see output below. If I try to run the fbdev server, I get a compaint that the /dev/... does not exist. Cannot achieve a higher resolution under windows either though. (If there is a more appropriate forum for me to go with this, then please advise.) XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: xx November 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
