Don't use "XFree86 -configure". The supported and recommended way of configuring XFree86 in Red Hat Linux, is to use: redhat-config-xfree86 or redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig The --help commandline option will display other options also. >Section "Files" > RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" > ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" >EndSection The font server isn't in the fontpath above. >Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Mouse0" > Driver "mouse" > Option "Protocol" "auto" > Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" >EndSection That's not the best mouse configuration in the world. >Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Monitor0" > VendorName "Monitor Vendor" > ModelName "Monitor Model" >EndSection There are no monitor settings present, ie: invalid configuration >#Option "ForceLegacyCRT" # <i> > Identifier "Card0" > Driver "ati" > VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" > BoardName "Radeon R250 If [Radeon 9000]" > BusID "PCI:1:0:0" >EndSection Radeon hardware should use the "radeon" driver. >Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen0" > Device "Card0" > Monitor "Monitor0" > SubSection "Display" > Depth 1 > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 4 > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 8 > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 15 > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 16 > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 24 > EndSubSection >EndSection None of the above color depths contain any "Modes" entries. As a result the X server wont start up because it hasn't been told a DefaultDepth to use, nor what resolution and color depth. >I have modified this file to add display resolution, etc.. >whith this change, i have a new error : not found an lcd monitor > >what cant i do? Configure X? ;o) Sorry, hope you've got a good sense of humor, that was an easy joke that I couldn't pass up. ;o) Seriously though, we provide our own X configuration tool in order to simplify X configuration and make these types of problems not happen. All users are best off using our own configuration tool, and reporting bugs to us in bugzilla about it if it does not work properly. redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig That should do the job for you. Hope this helps. TTYL -- Mike A.
