I've built this driver into XF86_SVGA (albeit with all the other drivers too - rather than just ``generic'') and I can get X up at 16 bits in 800x600, *but* I get a lot of horizontal lines across my screen - kind of like a huge thin horizontal smear (it's not there when an empty xterm takes up the entire screen, but when I add some text, I start getting the lines). I've tried changing the Frequency from 40.0 - to no avail. This has obviously got nothing to do with it. I know very little about X - perhaps someone can say ``Ahh, those horizontal lines are because....'' (and fill in the ....) ? FWIW, the text in the xterm is crystal clear at 16 bpp, but the characters are like blobs of mud at 8 bpp. > -------------------- > Randy Philipp > cphilipp@pop500.gsfc.nasa.gov -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
