Nothing. VESA is a BIOS interface, and useless from the point of view of an X server. You will have to trade your card for a decent piece of hardware - I would recommend an S3-based PCI card. You'll also win on performance, as the Trident chips are pretty poor. There's precious little out there quicker than an S3 at anything like the price. > Doug White | University of Oregon -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
