My guess is that you're trying to use an XFree86 3.3.6 config file with 4.x. >Please let me know whst is to be done to resolve the above issue. Delete your config file, and create a new proper one with "Xconfigurator" as root. Hope this helps. TTYL P.S. You are using an ancient X server release which contains numerous security flaws, which have since been fixed and released as updates to that OS release. It is recommended that you update all software on your system to the latest updates provided by Red Hat, including XFree86 4.2.1. -- Mike A.
