sigh. At some point, due to some combination of Xfree drivers, Linux kernel version, sisfblite, etc., etc. X11 just stopped working for me. It is very frustrating. There seems to be enough blame to go around -- X11 makes certain foolish assumptions as Ollie has pointed out, the hardware is not well documented, the sis fb lite driver has changed a bit, and so on. The result is, for now, I don't have a good path to an X11 desktop under linuxbios. I don't have time to fix this either. ron
