See, the problem is I get the SAME message I got when installing 8.0 beta,
that is, when I run Dispaly config in DrakConf, it says you can use "XFree
3.3.6" or "XFree 3.3.6 with Experimental 3D Hardware acceleration" I don't
get the option to use XFree86 4.0.3 and I should, my SiS 5598 is supported
there.....Maybe this is a problem with DrakConf?
