I'm not sure which type of board the SpeedStar blahblah is (Diamond has a habit of delivering vastly different boards under almost identical names :-( ), but perhaps you might disable direct frame buffer access. I think it's something like ``option "nomemaccess"'' in the XF86Config file, refer to the man page(s). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
