I just read through the README.S3V in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc directory. According to that, the S3V server now supports the ViRGE/DX cards. I'm installing that server now.. hopefully that'll help. Has anyone else out there tried a ViRGE/DX card with the S3V server? Does it work? > If it continues to happen, replace the card.

I'm more concerned whether it's gonna blow up my monitor than if it's only gonna annoy me by flashing every now and again =) Thanks for the feedback, -- : Jim Mock | [jim@corp.au.triax.com] : : System Administrator | http://www.triax.com/ : : Triax Internet Services | ----------------------------- : : Portland, OR USA | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve : : Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia | http://www.freebsd.org/ : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
