setting defaultfbbpp to 32 and defaultdepth to 24 works...for whatever good that is. I guess it's nice to have the extra colors. heh. It seems to eat up quite a lot of memory seeing as how the XAA tile cache is quite a bit smaller than it's previous 32 32 16 ( now it's 32 14 5). Thanks for your help. by the way, what's the status of parhelia with X? _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
