Until today, I had a Genoa GVGA card. X performance was poor, and after exiting from X the screen and fonts were trashed. Today, I installed an Orchid Fahrenheit VA (S3) card. Performance is now fine, but the screen and fonts are still trashed after exiting from X. I had assumed that this was a problem with the Genoa card, but evidently not. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be a motherboard problem? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk "We demand guaranteed rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty" - HHGTTG
