I did place the order for the board, and a cheap Chaintech Gforce 5200 video card in case the onboard doesn't work out for this app. The existing card, a 4 meg rage based card, apparently is not well supported by xorg's code, if the blanker is allowed to kick in, the recovery when the mouse is moved or a key is hit, is to a totally trashed screen & one must find the pager and switch screens to effect a redraw. Minor detail, but a pita anyway. Thanks a bunch. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
