Hi I am really sorry for the interpretation of my RH comments. It was definitely not sent to flame group nor to degrade RH. The group is for help out, no doubt. I was just puzzled by all RH problems in conjunctions with XF86 and installs sent to this group, and wanted to hear other peoples opinions. That also include securuty holes. Is that wrong ??? I may have phrased my self badly. All my apologizes. Do you Oisin Feeley also accept this ? BR Hans. _____________________________________________________________ At 16:16 2002-11-30 -0800, you wrote: > >On Sat, 30 Nov 2002, Hans Borg wrote: > >>Hi all, >> >>Have followed this forum for a time. >> >>No doubt that video-cards and associated monitors present problems >>in any X-server used (XFree86, XFreeBSD .....). >> >>My impression, though, is that a lot of people using RedHat are running >>into problems.
