Ok here's the scoop.  I was using a video card driver from 3.3, using 
XFdrake.  Since my s3 card will not work with the s3 drivers i was using 
the svga driver. Now even though i only had 4.3 installed, using this 
option forced me into 3.3 mode.  I finally found that i could use the 
vesa driver and after setting up the s3 4.3 driver, i hand edited the 
config to use the veas driver.  I've discovered that i have no web 
access using the native session 0 support.  However using the vnc client 
works so i'm finally have a way to manage the server without having to 
go down into the cold basement......  Thanks for all your help, it did 
get me thinking some more......
