Steven, I got a great picture now in my gui. I am using a copy of
Slackware 7.0 and I used the copy  of the xs3.tgz located in
/slakware/x1/. AFter unzipping I used XF86Setup(eyecandy) to set it up and
"viola" there it is.The color is 100% better. Before, I could hardely make
out the images. Thanks again Steven.
    I just noticed I cannot cut and paste with the mouse. Have to go back
and adjust that.
