One problem I am seeing is that the correct video card drivers are not being used by the system. It selects the generic vesa driver. The video card is S3Trio3D. I try to change to that one in the pull down list for system-config-display to S3 Trio3D/2X and it won't let me change it. What would I put in xorg.conf to get the correct drivers used? Could that be part of the problem with the size of the GDM text? Bill Drew drewwe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
