No :) But I have looked at it, and there is a thread in the July 2000 
archive about it, with a reference to http://alsa.linux.or.jp/misc/vgakills.
txt which explains the problem in detail.

There is a fix, but it involves grabbing the sources and doing a couple of 
manual changes and rebuilding...whilst I'm perfectly capable of doing this, 
I'm feeling lazy enough to wait for now :) I'm in no rush for XFree 4 ... 
wasn't much (if any) difference between 3 and 4 for me.
