Hi, Thanks for the advice. I did include the classic Xwindows system in the RedHat installation, but how do I access it? Or is this automatic. I will try recompiling and see what happens. The "standards compliance issue" could end up being a huge pain.

RedHat abandoned the bleeding edge ELF binaries for the newer ANSI C/C++ standard to ensure cross-platform operation. Many of the 'bugs' stopping programs have minor flaws in the written source from shortcut you used to get away with, and can't any longer. Second, your 7.3 installation program allows you to install a 'classic' version of the X Windows system. Be sure this is selected as well as the regular X Windows option while doing a custom install just before you select packages. Also, make sure you select /all/ of the X servers which apply to your video card: e.g., Standard VGA, Monochrome, XFBdev, XFree86 Compatibility modules, SVGA, etc. or your /will/ be sorry. XFree86 4 and greater are backwards compatible, although you'll need to check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file to insure all is properly configured. In fact, post that file to this list or include it as a text attachment. "Stride the storm or it will dance you." - Michael D.
