HI All, Has anybody used latest XFree86 on cyrix mediaGX? I've been using XF86_SVGA 3.3.3.1 without any problem. When I upgrade it to XFree86 4.2.0, the X server started, but not properly. The screen went full white with lot of black dots spread across, and also the screen blinks. After installation, I've executed Xconfigurator. It detected the monitor as "Samtron 428PT/PTL" and the corresponding frequencies. The Device Identifier was "MediaGX", but the Driver it selected was "vga". Hence I've manually edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, and changed the Driver to "cyrix". Only then I'm getting the results that I've mentioned in the previos paragraph. Is there any options that I should use? I've tried with Option "sw_cursor" with no results. I've attached the generated log file along with this mail. Can somebody help..?! Thanks, -Saran
