TGA2 has a Cirrus VGA as a "front end"; it should work as a normal VGA, and only switch into "TGA mode" when controlled by the TGA X server. You can only see the penguins with the original TGA, unless you try to run the TGA2 with Cirrus FB support (if available). --Jay++ --------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook HPTC - XC I & B Hewlett-Packard Company - ZKO1-3/D-B.8 (603) 884-0301 110 Spit Brook Road, Nashua NH 03062 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
