RedHat put's them there. if you don't have any, you simple need to create the appropriate files there (using cat or something). on the RedHat CD you should be able to find and RPM that does this for you (called dev_entries or something ?). > What is fstab?

I fix that in xterm ??? you serious ?? since XF86Setup runs X , I don't think it will be wise to run it from inside X. run it from a console. if your system automaticly boot to X, press CTRL-ALT-F1 to goto a console. you might need to put the system back in runlevel 3 (the runlevel where X isn't active all the time) in order to configure X, but typing 'init 3'. > problem already, had to reinstall cause I misuses fdisk.

I *can* change that right? in XF86Setup there's a tab called 'ModeSelection' in there you can change what resolutions will be available to you in X (you can choose as many as you like -then you switch them from X using CTRL-ALT-+/-), and color depth. you can also force X to start with a specified color depth by running it with 'startx -- -bpp 32' to force it to 32 bits per pixel mode. after you change everything you want, you can do 'startx' , reboot to get X running from the bootup, or simply type 'init 5' to go back to runlevel 5 where X is running. > Again, what is the setup tool, how can it be reachable, through XF68Setup? just type setup in a console. > It's plugged into one of the white entrance on the mother board, Windows that's a PCI port . ISA and EISA are black, VLB are brown, and AGP are sort of light mud color (what's wrong with painting them blue ?
