Just comment out the dri line. On a different subject, you mentioned you were having trouble with the screen being too small when you used the virtual setting. I too use the virtual setting as 1600x1280 where my setting for the video card is 1280x1024. I had trouble with the screen after I did this. Too fix it I had to cause Gnome to reinitailize by moving the gnome hidden directories .gnome, .gnome2, .gnome2_private to .gnomeOLD, .gnome2OLD and .gnome2_private to .gnome2privateOLD. I then logged out of gnome and restarted gnome. This will cause gnome to rebuild those directories but the problem with the screen size was fixed. You might try this to see if it resolves your screen size problem. Best of luck. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097
