It seemed to take care of that specific problem just fine, but it introduced lots more problems. For example, when you move the cursor now you get little dots trailing after it. This may related to the "mouse droppings" problem discussed earlier on this bboard. I'll have to take a look through my bboard archives (which I just wrote to tape this morning!). Also, the display has lots (and I mean LOTS!) of horizontal lines all over it. Basically, this new version of the X server was totally unusable because of all of these other problems so I backed off the changes. Have you tried this locally? Has anyone else tried this change? Any I imagining things? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard A.
