Hi again Well the XFree86 -configure indeed generated a 4.2.0 Config file, and X starts, but on my screen I only see a small portion of what appears to be hughe virtual screen. My menu bar at the bottom is hughe, and moving to the top off the virtual screen span several "physical" screens, if you know what I mean. I played around with Horizsync and Vertrefresh, but no good. The monitor is old : Compaq 150 Chipset : S3 Trio64V2 The 200 Mhz processor is to slow for RH 7.3, so I'll have to run it at rl 3 anyway, but I'd like to understand tha cause. Thanks in advance Jo De Baer On Wed, 04 Sep 2002 16:03:09 +0200 jo@neolabs.be wrote: > Hi, > > I have just installed RH 7.3 on my pc with S3 Trio64V2, and apparently > the XF86Config file is in 3.3.x syntax, while the X > running is version 4.2.0 ... > > startx fails with the message that he cannot find the screen. > > Will XFree86 -configure help?
