Scott, The MOST important hint I've seen in configuring X is the following posted earlier (maybe 1 month ago). Try this xinit >& filename This will write the X messages into the file "filename". When X is having trouble with clock speeds, etc it will write the clocks speeds it likes for your card in this file. Good Luck...Mark Mark Ganter/Univ of Washington/Dept of Mech Engr/FU-10/Seattle, WA 98195 USA ganter@u.washington.edu
