OK, now I'm confused. You say that I should copy my current /etc/X11/X to make a backup, and then recreate X as a symbolic link which points to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA. OK, fine, I understand the mechanics for doing that. The problem is that the /etc/X11/X symbolic link already points to that location. It comes that way with RedHat 7.3. You say to go back to 3.3.6, so I'm guessing that you mean me to download the files , and install it from scratch. Which I am now attempting to do. Incidently, I attempted to install 4.2 from scratch, and was met with the error that Glide was not installed. (specific issue was with libglide2x.so not being found.) Running the preinst.sh for 3.3.6 tells me that I need to update my ld.so to 1.7.14. As I'm currently running GNU ld version 2.11.93.0.2 20020207, I'm not feeling real good about this. I'll screw up the entire system just to get an obsolete version of X running. -----Original Message----- From: newbie-admin@XFree86.Org [mailto:newbie-admin@XFree86.Org]On Behalf Of Lionel Lecoq Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 8:37 AM To: newbie@XFree86.Org Subject: RE: Configuring X I had a look in the archives possibly Alan Hourihane could help if he is following the list these days... I would definitely go back to 3.3.6 (just backup /etc/X11/X and recreate X as a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA) then XF86Config will be used there you have to watch out (see http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/maddin_xcirrus.html) good luck Lionel --- "David E.
