Check you /etc/X11/XF86Config file. I bet you have references to the 75 and 100 dpi fonts in your fontpath before the font server. Also try adding :noscale to the end of the 75dpi and 100dpi font directories. HTH * Fabricio Matheus Goncalves [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001016 09:28]: OS: Debian

Eugene, if you feel like being extremely brave, you can try the testing .debs Branden has made available. They seem to work for me, but if you need something known to be solid, continue using 3.3.x. Take a look in the debian-x archives for Branden's mini-faq. You will be sorry if you do not read

Gordon, you are in luck, this was my situation exactly. Go to matrox.com, find their drivers section, and download their linux driver. It should be one file. Be sure to take a look at their readme, it is good enough to get you installed. (except for the bit about groups and DRI don't bother
