I have updated my system using up2date (after updating up2date that is). All went well. I started with RH 7.1. Is up2date not supposed to update it to 7.2?
Besides that, I would like some help getting X running. Xconfigurator now has settings for my GeForceGo laptop chip, and I select the Dell 1400X for the SXGA+ 15" monitor. However, X does not work..I get vertical lines green/red/etc... and no x. Any suggestions? Thanks, James At 03:36 PM 2/8/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I am a newbie to linux.
