I thought a downgrade to 3.2 would do the trick > but it seems the 3.2 pakages are gone. I have an S3Virge card and have XFree86 3.3 working fine, now. Two things to try: - Use the new svga server instead of the s3v server. It works much better for me. - Give the existing XF86Config another name and rerun xf86setup. If it still doesn't work, look at the output of the xserver on the console and repost if there is something unusual in it.
