After a few days of hard work last weekend I discovered that was the trouble in my upgrading from an older version of X to the newer. You might first see if your old configuration will work with your newly generated XF86Config. Carefully plug in the old data into your newer config file. If you haven't generated a new configuration file, so do. --The instruction are concisely given in Greg Lehey's FreeBSD text-- Once you have your old driver working with the new XF86Config, try using the new Mach driver. It may take some tweaks, but ought to work eventually. Once you have the new driver working with the new config file, use xvidetune to fine tune your Modeline data. gary kline > > <><> Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff. -- Peter de Vries
