SO locks up my whole computer. This is not unknown behavior. See this
readme...
--------------------
If you experience difficulties when using an Xfree S3Virge driver
noticeable by the "freezing" of the X server, set the environment
variable SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50 to »true« by using the following syntax:
For users of a Bourne Shell (e.g. bash):
export SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50=true
For users of a C Shell:
setenv SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50 true
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
If the above named environment variable is used, different window
elements may be shown in an inverted way. As the "freezing" of the X
server can also happen with every other program when using an Xfree
S3Virge driver, we recommend, therefore, that the appropriate SVGA
driver be used at all times. This means that the setting of the
environment variable is no longer a must.

But where should this line go? I did this once before but forgot. A
"clue" in the sun support base here...
http://supportforum.sun.com/cgi-bin/WebX.cgi?13@95.9qEhalPKfiQ^0@.ee918ef
...leads me to believe etc/profile is the place. So I added the line
(the one enclosed in stars) and nothing happened.

Nothing changed. Is this the right file? Did I add the right line in the
right place?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
