Cirrus - at least I think that is my problem.... With 4.1, the following page shows support for the "cirrus" driver...... http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status9.html#9 My i386 installations seem to have a file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/cirrus_alpine.o but this doesn't seem to exist on my alpha installations.... I'm new to the alpha architecture, and someone in the alpha debian lists said I would likely have to compile X from source. I don't see why these packages should be different based on architecture since it looks like this is directly X related.... Any ideas why it isn't included in Debian's alpha packages? Any more thoughts appreciated..... b. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
