Sorry, it's just crashed again leaving the laptop hard locked and
displaying a rather fetching horizontally striped pattern on the LCD
mixture of overlay
colours and actual movie pixels.
But that's a minor quibble .. excellent work, Alan - thanks very much!

I cleaned out the installation and re-installed 4.2 .. this time
everything looked much better and was demonstrably much faster .. but
now the X server refuses to shut down properly, requiring several alt
backspaces to get me back to the shell prompt.

Well .. I took the plunge and moved everything aside, installed .. and
it still seems to work ;-
I'd like to upgrade from XFree 4.1 to 4.2 .. but I'd like to be able to
restore 4.1 in the event that 4.2 causes problems.
Can I simply mv the /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 directories aside, install
4.2, and then mv the old directories back should I need to?
to work 100%, but am I doing
something fundamentally wrong? (I struggled to find any decent X
programming resources on the web)
TIA

OK .. I now have a working Zoom button. Thanks for the pointer!
Another question .. is it possible to send a "middle mouse button click"
to the server?
My Vaio is constructed so

I've just installed Linux onto a laptop with a Radeon Mobility chip in it.
Would a CVS checkout of the X tree include the best possible server /
driver combination, or do I need to look elsewhere? ATI, maybe?

Alan, is it OK to mirror your binary trident driver on my website?

Trying the blindingly obvious

./startx
Works BTW.
D'oh .. I gues

However, if I type "xinit", everything starts properly.
(If I log in as root, both "startx" and "xinit" work)
It's not a big deal because I can start and run X, but does anybody know
what the error message means and how I can fix it?
Many thanks!!

everything, since I only want the driver, is
this possible?
I had hoped that changing the version numbers in xf86Version.h would sort
the problem, but it hasn't .. and I don't know where else to look.

e XF86Config file in a hundred (almost!)
different ways, but I can't lose the sparklies. If I use the framebuffer

I'll refrain from boring you all with my XF86Config just yet ... but does
anybody know what might cause this problem
