Hrmmm? What is the output of rpm -q XFree86? I ask, because the 7.2 release included XFree86-4.1.0-3. The installer may have configured the server to use the older 3.3.6 servers for your card, but that is a compatability thing. Xfree itself should have been at 4.1.0-3, while the version 3 servers would be 3.3.6-42. If you want to use the XFree86 version 4x server, you can try running 'Xconfigurator --preferxf4' - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj0H4owACgkQn/07WoAb/Sso6ACcDiPgFtSU8SJ2j66w//zhlplO rtsAnR7/kedIZAsWsiEUfeovIO7nh3/k =erjR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
