This file also says that it defaults to the old emulation. How does one toggle the new stuff on? 2) When my X server, XF86_S3, starts up, right after the bit where it tells you the modes its using, how it's caching stuff, etc, it says something about "not using MIT_SHA extensions, not supported in kernel". What are these extensions, and if they're useful, how does one enable them? Thanks, Alec
