As thorsten sugested these lines added to the video-card-section of the XF86Config file are crucial for getting the neomagic chip to work under X: Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect" Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" With Xserver v3 these lines are not necessary (nor possible) and XFree86-SVGA works just fine. (My problem with v3 was due to extrem stupidity related to the mouse/touchpad) have a nice (mon)day norman -- norman werner c./ seneca 3 puerta 1 46021 valencia spanien tel:96-3280175 / 626476194 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
