Tried to mount it up again, but it claimed the device was already in use, or I was giving it the wrong filesystem type. Eventually had to re-boot. Whilst I'm posting, does anyone know of an X-server for the Neomagic chip-set on a Campaq Presario 1060 laptop? I've got XFree and Metro-X working at (an unacceptable) 320x200 using the bog-standard VGA servers. Both came from the January '98 Infomagic LDR 6CD set. Does anyone know what the latest one of these is and if it includes Neomagic support. Next question. I've seen the web page about the flight-sim in development for Linux, but it needs a Voodoo II 3D accelerator. Will this work with my existing Trio S64V+ PCI graphics card, or will I have to get something a little newer - I already know I'll have to get a new motherboard and CPU as I'm currently running a non-MMX P133. -- Paul Duncan http://www.chaos-hovel.demon.co.uk
