[Please CC me, I'm not subsribed. I am trying to follow using the archives] Am having a lot of trouble getting XFree to work reliably on a Grey G3 (with ATI rage card): When running in 8 bit the X server background is all white and the mouse cursor leaves ghost images around. [It actually looks more like the screen is b&w instead of 8 bit] In 32 bit mode the screen stays blank (something resembling an underline cursor sometimes appears) I get the following output from Xfbdev XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Most hits on google are for Xfree4! Jan P.S. Is the fact the mouse is now imps2 at /dev/input/mice documented somewhere. Most docs still go on about adbmouse.
