Thanks in advance. >Natraj >(longingly waiting to get XFree86 working on my machine) DON'T USE CLOCK.EXE. It is obsolete and won't work for your card. It was made for ET3000 and ET4000 cards, but not for the newer SVGA boards. The XFree86-1.1 xserver has an improved clock detection built in; see its results by X386 >& x386.log in the logfile produced. If you don't see a line saying e.g. clocks: 25 28 10 20 45 99 0 0 this X server is likely incompatible with your card.
