Use just the SVGA driver and it will work. There the last time I tried to use Xfree 4 manual automatic detection it didn't work for me (but this was almost a year ago maybe it works now). Check your xf86config file and make sure for driver it states savage. I would also check to make sure the symlink for X points to XFree86 if your still using 4.x. If none of this works, post your xf86config file and let see it it all looks ok. Rod __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
