I can't think of anything except perhaps the mmap() semantics changing (David?) that would lead to semantics like you're describing. The X server should still be communicating just fine with the board's registers and video memory under either 2.0 or 950210-SNAP, and I've certainly been running Xaccel quite happily since pre-2.0 days all the way up to post-950210-SNAP with my #9 GXE64 Pro/4MB board. It's never given me anything but flawless performance. I presume that you have, of course, tried varying resolutions, pixel depths, etc? You really will have to help us narrow this down a little more if we're to have any hope of tracking it down and fixing it. Jordan
