I tried to run the redhat-config-xfree86 utility and it gets as far as making the mouse icon an arrow. Progress! :) As for the XF86Config, it is the default file generated by Anaconda at install.

Also try using redhat-config-xfree86 to try to config your X correctly. I have Redhat 8.0 on a Inpiron as well with X working OK. If you want I can e-mail my XF86Config (send me an e-mail directly so as not to overload the list). Reg, Jon Morgan wrote: >I am trying to install RedHat 8 on a Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop.
