Dear Marc:

Many thanks for your response. I have just downloaded the latest DRI source
tree and the kernel linux-2.4.0-test8.
It got compiled.

Could I also ask you where I can download the sample configuration file
"XF86Config". I remember I found there is one for Matrox and for others. But
now I need it, I can not find it again.
I hope to update the "XF86Config.4" and restart the X. If anyone knows, send
me information.

Many thanks for your assistance.
