But once we changed the > driver to XF86_S3V, XServer cannot be loaded. I use a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (not the Pro unit) under X with 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits per pixel color depth just fine. I also _do_not_ use the SVGA driver: I use the S3V server. It is more stable than the SVGA server for S3 Virge use. Send me the output of "startx -- -bpp 32" and send me your XF86Config file and I'll try to find your problem. Michael J.
