I'm not interested in playing graphics driver politics. If I could do something short term about the graphics situation I would. Furthermore there isn't anything I can do about it (even if it does involve its own *clean* mode setting to keep KeithP from exploding) until the core merges are done. As has already been pointed out large parts of the enabling code are already merged into other bits of the kernel. Alan
