If you have a linear buffer and we can figured out: o Where is the physical location of the frame buffer. o If the linear buffer is accessible. The reason why I mentioning this is that the XFree86 tends to lock out the linear buffer most of the time. Yes, I know that you are using Xinside so you will have to have a slightly different version of tv one which does not depend on DGA to enable the linear buffer. This is academic at this point since I don't know jack shit about the Matrox Impression and Xinside's XServer. o The linear buffer must map the entire frame buffer -- there are some graphic engine implementations which only mmap just a bank. >>> "Jordan K.
