I got the nVidia drivers and installed them, and now I get the splash screen when gdm starts. However, the application in question still complains that it can't use DirectDraw. It uses 256 colors and X is using 16-bit color; could this be part of the problem? I changed one section of XF86COnfig as follows, but it doesn't seem to have done anything: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 # 1024x768 seems not to work Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "800x600" "640x480" "320x240" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Black 0 0 0 White 255 200 200 EndSubSection EndSection -- resume at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/resume.htm PGP key at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/newmail.htm#GPGKey _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
