I suppose it'll get looked into with a little more seriousness in the near future provided the bug can be reprodcued. The questions here are though: 1. Is the machine still up and going, or is the WHOLE thing locked up? (If you have a terminal connected, is it still useful/ usable?) 2. If not, has twm exited yet? > Also, I would really like to be able to use >85 clocks since I have >2MB VRAM and a monitor that will do 1280x1024NI @ 72Hz. You have several options here: 1. Wait until the people volunteering their time get around to implementing and releasing the pixel multiplexing code that does this and allows you to use the higher clocks. 2. implement said pixel-multiplexing code yourself. 3. get the code for the XServer and remove the limit, which will then allow you to use whatever clock speeds you want to. Of course, you risk irreparable damage to your card (ie, completely trashing the thing to the point of uselessness), but some people don't seem to mind this too much. TOodlepip!
