I can try others if you like. Yep. WinXP was the last release shipping with cirrus drivers, so, yes, it'll be a change there. On anything more recent I'd expect you don't see a difference in behavior between cirrus and stdvga. WinXP is out of support though, and I see little reason to care too much here. Especially as this is only about picking a default, not about dropping cirrus support. If you need it it is still there, and machine types for 2.1 & older continue to default to cirrus. cheers, Gerd
