With 3.3 you lack support for many newer graphics cards. With 4.0 you lack support for many older graphics cards. (I believe that there are security issues with 4.0, as well. That's why xwrappers should be installed if you install 4.0 and don't xdm.) R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
