*Urg* I wont use Potato on a system i rely on to be available.

I have build X 3.3.5 for slink (And just copied the XF86_SVGA server
from it.

If anyone is interested i will be able to mail the Server 
and/or put it somewhere publicly ...

(flo@paradigm)/usr/X11R6/bin# cat /etc/X11/Xserver
/usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA-3.3.5
Console

The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server.
The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server:
RootOnly
Console      (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console)
Anybody
(flo@paradigm)/usr/X11R6/bin# ls -la XF*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      2882516 Feb 23  1999 XF86_SVGA
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      3508158 Sep 18 01:12 XF86_SVGA-3.3.5
