If it is already fixed, don't fix it again (was RE: XDM doesn't work [SOLVED])



I don't like Windows, I suffer through it.

As for checking the supported cards list, I did and
the card I am using has support in the SVGA server.  My
comment was that *I* need to figure out the proper
mode lines to get it to work.

I will assume the hostile tone of your reply is due
to translation to English rather than intent.  If it
was intent, please step back, take a deep breath and
relax.  The lists are for *everyone* to get help and
if you can't suffer the sometimes idiotic questions
and problems people have (or create) while learning
I would suggest you look for something else to occupy
you time.

The above paragraph was prompted by your reply:

> If you have strange video cards - well its your fault you haven't
> check the list of supported hw - you have to wait for new
> xserver or try SVGA xserver.

If we are not friendly (or at least civil) to the newbie type 
questions, free software is doomed to become a second class
techno-centric skeleton in the software closet.

Sorry if I seem a bit harsh, but I am tired of people
responding to lists with "it's your fault because you
bought xyz without checking" instead of trying to help
get what the person has working the best it can.  Many
people cannot purchase new hardware, and must make due
with what is available to them.  If we work to help them
get what they have working, when they *are* able to upgrade
they will know enough to check on hardware compatibility.
