OK, I got the RH 7.3 config back to the original load after screwing it up by trying to manually install XFree86 manually. The RH utility Xconfigurator has a switch in it that allows you to configure either with 3.3.6 (--preferxf3) or with 4.2 (--preferxf4). By specifying these switches, it alters the symbolic link for /etc/X11/X to the proper file (/usr/bin/X11R6/XFree86 (for 4.2) or /usr/bin/X11R6/XF86_SVGA (for 3.3.6). Using either switch resets the symbolic link. The Xconfigurator uses a default driver of null for the Cirrus 5424 card in both configs. There was also a symbolic link in /usr/bin/X11R6/X that was pointing to XFree86. As soon as I altered both to point to the corresponding XF86_SVGA file, startx came right up. _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
