I wouldn't know what I was looking at if I did look at the code, but xorg did complain about missing /dev/io before I added 'io' to the kernel config. Then, xorg complained about missing /dev/vga. So, it seems to me that adding 'io' fixed the 'missing /dev/io' message, and adding 'mem' fixed the 'missing /dev/vga' issue, with regards to xorg. You guys are teaching me a lot! :) --=20 Mike perl -e 'print unpack("u","88V]N=3D&%C=3D\"!I;F9O(&EN(&AE861E
