Some hardware which did not work correctly is of course working now. In order to use the 7500, you need to use my new XFree86 4.2.0 RPM's and for 3D to work you need to use the rawhide kernel. You also need the new glut rpm. All of these rpm's are on my people account at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/7.2/XFree86/ ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/7.2/glut/ Just so people know, 4.2.0 releases in rawhide will always have a release number of -2 or higher (ie: -2.4), and my RHL 7.2 packages will be numbered -0.x.y, or something else lower than -2. Anyone wanting to use 4.2.0 for more stable purposes should use the -0.x packages as they are _built_ on RHL 7.2. The rawhide releases are built in the randomly changing rawhide build environment and will likely explode if installed on a 7.2 system.
