Thanks for the quick reply, Andrew.

I'll give that a try.  I haven't used cvs before, so I get the chance to 
learn many new things :-)

I had installed the binaries from XFree86.org, and they kinda sorta 
worked, so I am glad to see there are improvements even on that.  It 
is kind of a drag not to be able to switch away from (and then back 
to) the GUI terminal.  Also, agp.ko couldn't allocate any memory, so 
I was stuck at 8-bit color.  (Note the hopeful use of past tense...)

Regards,
Eric
