Sorry, it's been many months since I had to deal with an S3. I thought when I did that the configuration step threw the confile over to /etc/X11/XF86Config instead of XF86Config-4. Might be an idea to see if you have a XF86Config and check out what it said in there. I've been told by a guy who deals with much more legacy hardware than I do that the vesa driver in XFree-4.1 does occasionally work with the S3Trio chipset, it just never has for me. Possibly you need to dpkg --configure xserver-s3 to get the correct confile into use. Anyway I see by your other post you got it going :) Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
