When we switch monitors and video cards the only thing we've ever needed is the X server executable. The sources in /sys should have all the drivers for the different cards since these are built into the generic kernel which you can rebuild at any time. Most of the setld distributions I've seen are tar files. You should be able to tar -tf one of the 4 distribution files in the worksystem software distribution. Use the file command to find the file that is compressed data and then say 'zcat <file> | tar -tf - > <file>.lst'. I'll admit that I haven't done *exactly* what you are doing, but I've done similar things. You are looking for filenames that begin with /usr/bin/X... I have about 5 X servers on my machine right now. -- Les Walker
