Since I joined this list I've discovered the true meaning of the words "Digress" and "Tangent". Someone asks for help and then the whole thread spirals off and digresses in all manor of different tangents none of which bear any relation to the original problem . Every time I see the topic heading I'm waiting for I get all excited thinking someone is going to tell me a solution or a peek and poke (Flash back to Commodor 64 days there) that will get my ATI card working properly but every time there is only reference to something that is already sorted and a big debate about the best way of doing it. Please forgive my anxiety but xhost + worked, I don't know what I was supposed to do with it, all I needed to do was not log in as root but now, rather than address the initial problem the whole thread has digressed onto a topic about, well I don't know what it's about,I've lost all orientation. I suppose I should be used to it, my Missus does it all the time :) Anyone know how to get the new ATI drivers working properly? Pretty please :) -- Tony.
