downgrading

Thanks so much! Any good hints on how I downgrade XFree? Can I do it with setup.exe? How do I install it? Is there a good page? I'd love to make this work again. Thanks, Dan

Try it again tomorrow with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-49 and send in your log file again. The new log file will contain the version of the X Server and the exact command line that you used to start it, both of which will be useful to see. Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 03/02/2004 04:23:51 PM cy
