Apologies to the list, but I couldn't let this one go.  I took a nice
little peek at your mail headers and saw this:

User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/10.1.0.2006

That's SO cute! :)


And, to Sondy, re: the i830m chip - are you using Debian on it?  Because
24-bit color isn't possible with the standard debs (well, above 640x480
... at least, from my travails).  I've submitted a patch to Branden (the
X guy) and got my own working debs (if you want them).  I had to apply a
patch that allowed me to enable all the VRAM on the chip (some V_BIOS
error/stupidity).  You can see my communications on the debian-x mailing
list.  But, if you got it working with standard debs for any Debian
branch, do tell :)
