I know how to set X up to use the second head on the G400/450/550... what I don't understand is the fascination people have with using a framebuffer. What's the attraction? What does it do for you? Is it just to get these annoying console sizes? The idea of unaccelerated X has such appeal? I admit I've never bothered researching it at all... never saw the need, or even the point. :) -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/msw
