If RH also installed 3.3.6 then all you need to do is redirect X to the adequate X 3 server (poassibly XF86_S3 would do) and chack that you have an XF86Config which has the right format (RH usually creates both a XF86Config-4 for X 4 and a XF86Config for X 3, I am not sure whether it does that in 7.3 - I have 7.2- ) Lionel --- Bassbr2j@aol.com wrote: > I just loaded Red Hat Linux 7.3 on to an old HP Pavilion 7125.
