Well hi again, |

It took longer than I expected to change the server. Anyway. |

The VIA Unichrome situation turned out to be a no-go for me. I had to |
| 6 |
install an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 on the machine and get X running. |

I think this whole thread and me compiling various Xorg versions about 8 |
| 9 |
or 9 times was a waste of time. Because as it turns out, fluxbox, even |
| 10 |
on the nvidia drivers took ages to open xcalc and such. The only |
| 11 |
difference was that, the mouse pointer moved properly with nvidia |
| 12 |
drivers when fluxbox was trying to open xcalc. With vesa, the pointer |
| 13 |
lagged like hell! |

Something interesting did happen though. I had that "Unknown device" in |
| 16 |
my lspci output for both Gentoo and FC4 when I was on VIA Unichrome. Now |
| 17 |
after switching to nvidia, I can see a Host Bridge properly identified |
| 18 |
in its place. I wonder why that would be? |

I still am confused about one thing though... which exactly is the 2D |
| 21 |
driver for VIA Unichrome? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I apologise to those who wasted their time reading this thread and |
| 24 |
replying in it.. but I found the problem worth investigating and I am |
| 25 |
still intrigued by it.. |

Regards and a sincere thanks, |
