There's probably another list I should be using for this question, but
I'm not on it yet, so please advise.
Also, there's been discussion of driver issues for the ATI Rage XL on
this list, and that's the hw in the headless server I'm trying to
configure.
I have a dual i686 in a data center running a fully updated FC5 that I
will probably never touch physically. Certainly, all my users will come
in over the net. I would like them to be able to use 'ssh -X,' and to
run vnc and nx clients.
Runlevel 5 is broken. I'm presuming I need to get it working--but do I
need to focus on the local video hardware even though I'm not supporting
a local display? It would seem to me that the local video hw would not
be relevant to remote gui access--but I don't understand X particularly,
so I'm confused on what fix to pursue and how.
Additionally, it seems configs are differently located under FC5? Or is
this a function of the broken environment? My /var/log/Xorg.setup.log
complains, "FATAL: Module mach64 not found," and my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
has fatal server with "failed to initialize core devices."
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

CHANGES
-------
- Fix livna.org and rawhide URL's (Ville)
- Fix "revert to build list" such that it can deal with
upgraded versions of the build packages, as well as
deal with packages with broken post/postun scripts (Thomas)
- make sure we refresh local repository cache with
yum >= 2.6.0 (Nigel)
- always recreate repository config files, so that changes
to "location" are effective immediately (Thomas)
- Add JPackage URL's for FC3, 4, 5 (Ville)
- mach clean also cleans out the local repo (Thomas)
WHY WOULD YOU USE IT
--------------------
mach is helpful:
- to create minimal chroot environments to jail services in
- to create clean packages for distributions
- to catch spec file mistakes, missing buildrequires, and more
