Reinstalling XFree86 from CDROM wont do anything at all, not unless you've deleted files that the package installed that are required. If "rpm -V $(rpm -qa |grep XFree86)" doesn't return any missing files, then reinstallation isn't going to modify any behaviour. >> 3) After reinstall tried "XFree86 -configure" which produced the >> XF86Config.new file attached. On Red Hat Linux 7.x, the recommended way of configuring XFree86 is to use Xconfigurator. >(II) RADEON(0): VESA VBE DDC supported >(II) RADEON(0): VESA VBE DDC Level none >(II) RADEON(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 2 sec. >(II) RADEON(0): VESA VBE DDC read failed >(==) RADEON(0): Write-combining range (0xe0000000,0x1000000) >(EE) RADEON(0): Failed to detect the panel size. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The panel dimensions can not be autodetected. You have to specify things in your X config file properly, however I can't assist with that as I have no laptop hardware and every laptop is different. You may wish to search google for people with the same hardware having the same problem in case someone has resolved this. Also note that you're using XFree86 4.1.0-3, which is ancient. You should update to all released erratum updates for Red Hat Linux 7.2 at a minimum, however I recommend upgrading to Red Hat Linux 8.0 instead, which has the latest video support. Hope this helps. P.S. Please do not post huge file attachments to the mailing list. Instead, upload the files somewhere accessible via ftp or the web, and provide a URL link to them, so as not to flood people's inboxes with huge files. -- Mike A.
