I swear I ran xsetup at least 100 times, but cannot seem >to get the "right" combination to see anything further. Your wasting your time. BSDI 2.1 comes with X And AcceleratedX. Just go to /etc/X11/AcceleratedX/binaries (I think) and run Xinstall, then run Xsetup and set your video card to Diamond stealth, select true color, and thats it.. It will work fine.. (It comes with the Commercial version of XInsides AccelX 2.1.. I wonder where we can get free upgrades to 3?) Lance
