So I did another X -configure, moved the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and carefully tried out the new xf86-video-mga-1.9.100.. The screen is much brighter at the resolution is good, but the brightness is still very dingy compared to the "vesa" driver. There is nothing wrong with my CRT; on the other KVM connections (and/or) with the vesa driver at 800x600, the screen is completely bright. Is there some other "ati" driver yet to finish? Anybody? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
