Mike, Just a question from a careful guy. Are those rawhide rpm's pretty safe to install? I have RH9 working with dual DELL 1702 TFT screen on a Radeon 7000 VE. Will this still be working? And I also want to thank you guys at RedHat for the great work you are doing. RH rules I reckon! Regards, Andre Verheij -----Original Message----- From: Mike A.

That isn't rawhide though is it. ;o) >Besides this, is there anything that must be changed in a plain redhat9 >installation? I'm just compiling this to use the new savage driver, as >the old one is as bad as standard vesa... The savage driver hasn't changed since 4.3.0-2 which is in RHL 9 that I recall. But if you're using RHL 8.0, it's a new driver compared to that. >Without changing anywhing, a make World compiles without errors. So >what must be done to install it? You edit the spec file and set the build_$target to 1 for the OS target you wish to build for, and set all other targets to 0. Then edit the Release: line and add your initials to it. ie: Release: 30 becomes Release: 30.as or something similar. Then do: rpmbuild -ba XFree86.spec Then rpm -Uvh XFree86-*4.3.0-$release*i386.rpm -- Mike A.
