Weird! Ooooh, you've got a rather old X server, this was still XFree86 3.1.1. This became a very well-known problem, and finally urged the XConsortium to fix the Xaw programs. :-) Good news for you: by yesterday, XFree86 has been releasing the first Beta after release 3.1.2 (called 3.1.2A), and they've been changing their policy in that publically available binary releases are now possible. (The servers have an expiration date, to prevent them from lurking around for too long.) The 3.1.2A SVGA server has preliminary support for the Trident TGUI 9440. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
