Two simple steps: 1) Format your mail messages to stay within 79 columns, preferably 72. This makes them much easier to read. 2) Go back to the FTP server where you got XFree86 and get the S3 server package as well. XFree86 3.2 with the S3 server installed easily on my machine here; you shouldn't have any problems once you get all the correct pieces. While you're there, get the README file and make sure you have *everything* you need. lib, etc, and fonts, amongst others, are critical. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
