I have a Permedia 2 based card (Diamond FireGL 2) in my SX164, and it also doesn't work properly with XFree 4 (pixmaps get corrupted. Usually, I try to fix bugs myself, but I have no idea how to debug this...). OTOH, this can be seen as great progress: earlier versions of XFree4 left the console in an unusual state, and even earlier ones crashed the kernel :) Falk
