Since these are typically drivers for obsolete board, there isn't much incentive to change them. You need to disable the SVGA drivers and servers which are failing by editing xf86site.def I think. I never had any problems with I128 or PEX but I haven't tried to build 3.3.3.1 yet (my patches are for 3.3.3). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
