I will also try to upgarde my Xorg and report to you if it is working or not. Thanx again, have a nice weekend, HAVE FUN and with my best regards Ronny Am 08.01.2005 um 18:14 schrieb doug@safeport.com: Thanks Joe I will try to upgrade. My experience was the same, in that the problem tracked X (both projects) across several levels of 4.x and 5.x. The vesa drive works okay, but I miss the larger screen and better font rendering.
