    I was not able to get the TGA configured with SaX. I had
    to use xf86setup to get a working config file, and then
    had to set a broken symlink from X to the installed TGA
    server. It's a pain, but it was the only way I could
    get it working. It works fine once it's installed though.

    There does seem to be a graphics bug in SaX though. On
    non-TGA cards, the graphics on the display configuration
    screen (where the screen is shown in the canvas) are
    garbled.

    Hi,

    I just got done upgrading to 6.4 after having fixed the problem with my
    disk (which I talked about in a previous post). Here just a quick query
    for feedback on X. It seems to be broken after the upgrade. I am using
    a TGA card which worked fine under 6.3. I am using the same XF86Config
    file which now generates a lot of errors. I did the upgrade by essentially
    replacing every package. Perhaps the TGA driver got hosed/overwritten?
    Where in the file system are the drivers located? There are a couple of
    things I am about to check myself, like building a new XF86Config file,
    trying to find out what happened to the TGA driver, etc., but if
    someone ran into the same problem before and already found a solution,
    I'd appreciate if I could hear about it.

    Best regards, Alex.
