The Accelerated servers (i.e. XF86-S3V) and SVGA use different blocks in the configuration file. Alternatively (this MAY work, I haven't tried it myself) you can just go in and find the "Screen" section, to the line "Driver "Accel"", change that to "Driver "SVGA"". Like I said, this may work or it may not, but I doubt it will screw up your system if you try it, so it's worth a shot. - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
