Why would the BL3 xset work in BL2 when the SW71 xset only generates error 
messages?

I will try xsvga some time (I have it on one computer), but in BL3 Abiword 
is working with Xvesa and without xset (at least I get a message about 
lacking xset when I load Abiword).  xsvga might also fix the problem with 
the two Tseng cards crashing sometimes on exit from Xvesa (which they do 
not do with xfbdev).  However I read online that there are bugs related to 
Tseng cards in the older XFree86s that they fixed in 4.
