Sure, it is the problem with X. But you can get around this by disabling some features through configuring. RTFM. Something that worked with X 3.2 may not work with 3.3 or higher. Will I did, thanks.

Pay attention to the new XAA features. According to my experience, some of these features do not work properly. Since I don't have a S3 Virge card, that's all I can help. Good luck! -- __ ___ __ ___ / / /__ / / / __ /_/ /__ /_/ / _ __ / _ __ / /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Will Hi. I'm using the XFree86 3.3 SVGA server with my diamond Will 3D3000 video card with 4 megs of VRAM, and I can only startx Will once. That is, if I exit X, and type startx again on the Will console, the screen goes black and the machine hangs. Will CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and the Vulcan Nerve Pinch have no effect Will whatsoever and my only recourse is to press the reboot button Will on the front of the machine. Will Today I downloaded the XF86_SVGA 3.3.1 binary from Will ftp.xfree86.org and installed it; the behavior is the same. Will I've found, however, that if I keep *both* servers around and Will switch back and forth between them (by renaming one to Will something else and naming the one in use XF86_SVGA), I can Will startx as many times as I please. Will Any clues? Why no reconfigure X? RTFM. Something that worked with X 3.2 may not work with 3.3 or higher. -- __ ___ __ ___ / / /__ / / / __ /_/ /__ /_/ / _ __ / _ __ / /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
