Hi, I gave the new 4.0.1 and your xfree86 tree a try. I included the tdfx driver in the xfree86.cf file and everything compiled and installed nicely. So I decided to send you a quick testreport. The driver unfortunately only seems to run in 8bit color. 16bit starts but the screen looks very wierd, colors all off ... 24 and 32 bit color modes are reported beeing unsupported at the moment. There is also a problem with scrolling in windows, no matter which I tried, netscape, a terminal, lines of text get clobbed or are not displayed at all. Other that that the Server is nice and pretty fast (compared to fbdev...). So I guess I'll go back to fbdev server for now. Kostas 3.9.16 server did not seem to have these problems. There 24 bit works and the scrolling is no problem aswell. I just don't get it to cooperate with 4.0.1 ... Cheers Henning -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
