I have exactly the same problem, so i've done everything that has been
said. In fact now, the problem is that i need XF86_SVGA and i'm sure it
isn't installed. As i'm not very familiar with the packages, could someone
tell me in which package of RH5 is XF86_SVGA and if i just have to do a rpm
-i <package name> or if i have to do something else.
Thanks a lot
JY
PS: sorry if i've already posted this message once but i'm afraid i've only
