No me either........ Good tip about the complete xserver though it does
seem to be supported in Mandrake 8  as part of the Xfree86 xserver
packages.

Bad news is its very limited in functionality.

Still most of my spread sheet printing work is pretty basic. If I could
only get Mandarke8 from our local WA linux supplier I could try it out
:)
