Yeah, it may be a large process, but building X from source is a good way to get your KDE/gnome or whatever gui environment fits your fancy. I had to build X due to trying to figure out problems with my old video card. One has to have alot of space (about 850 Mb of space), and patience. It took me

Aye, I noticed that too. If I tried enabling that option in the host.def, it complains about missing MAGIC_INIT. Problem being that I have /usr/include/linux/include/joystick.h which doesn't include that option. I'll snoop around the source looking for that stinker. BTW, I'm still trying to buil

Mike, there sure is. I'm using an s3virge card. As far as I could tell, you can use the s3virge driver for the s3trio chip. You may need to disable some acceleration to prevent lockups. Just do "strings /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.so | grep XaaNo | grep ExpandFill" to get the options to put into
