There are several 'device' sections. I'm guessing you want this one: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard" Driver "trident" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Trident CyberBlade (generic)" EndSection Section "Device" Identify "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 31.5-37.9 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 Option "dpms" EndSection I haven't checked if these are rigth, but I can't see why they'd be wrong, I had fc2 running fine (remember that the whole point of this is to get fc3 running with minimal graphics) > Can you run system-config-display? Does it appear to work? Nope that killed it. > Paul. btw, when I log in it says "You have mail" wtf? I certainly don't - not from any network at least. Duncan
