I used the standard svga driver with my VE. The one that I had used a Cirrus Logic card. I don't think I had that card however.

Hmmm.. unless you have *two* psm devices ... try /dev/psm0 ;-) - branson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Branson Matheson " If you are falling off of a mountain, Unix System Administrator You may as well try to fly."
