Just a big thank you to all those that helped; I now have Xfree3.3.6 running on my laptop, with hardware acceleration. After I reinstalled Mandrake in Expert mode, it asked me which Xfree I wanted; and I proudly chose the old one :) I'm big BIG on astronomy, and openuniverse now works beautifully! -turgut ----- Turgut Kalfaoglu: http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr
