Theres a good old proverb "If it works, donīt fix it".
The patch automates the recognition of the Cyber9397 DVD and the 8MB VidRAM,

the accel came with the 3.3.3.1 patch from XFree themselves. I originally
wrote the
patch for the original 3.3.3 to add the 770X chipset to those that XFree
automagically
recognizes. I still havenīt heard anything from the XFree guys though (I
sent them the
3.3.3 patches) :-(

Sorry Iīve not seen this (yet?). BTW did you see the workaround on Gregīs
page
for the XFree brown-burn screen when closing the lid without suspending. He
suggests CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to the virtual terminal before closing the lid,
and then CTRL-ALT-F7 to return to the XSession after reopening.
