Better still, as root: $ apt-get install discover mdetect read-edid $ dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-xfree86 xfree86-common $ apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xfree86-common I'm assuming there's a better way to do this than purging X, but I haven't found it (not that I've looked too hard, it built my config with vim). -rob msg25307/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

From your XF86Config-4: Option BusID PCI:1:0:0 I don't know if this makes any difference, but my config file says: BusID AGP:01:00:0 Note the extra zeros, so maybe this would work for you: Option BusID PCI:01:00:0 -- ++ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | || | Basically, I got on the plane with a bomb.
