Sigh; yeah, 4.0.0 through 4.0.3 were all broken on a lot of Alphas, especially the EV56-based ones (LX/SX/MIATA/etc). I sent patches to RH/SuSE/Debian right after 4.0.3 was released that fixed most if not all of those, and submitted them to XFree86 where they subsequently appeared in 4.1.0. So, if you are using an older XFree86, upgrading may well help. If you aren't, or it does NOT, I'd like to know more details. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
