This means some times I got it to run but only with very bad quality and very unstable. This is the current state! Is there anyone out there who can give me a real working XF86Config to get XFree86 4.0.2 working or at least a link to a nice web-page ? I have a Gateway Solo laptop with the Trident Cyber 9397 chip - not DVD version. It would not work with xfree401. Complained about a clock rate in the Gigahertz range. I got Mandrake 7.2 to work with the original xfree400. I did this by installing 7.x Expert mode and selecting 4.0.1 This of course failed to run, but then I used the Xinstall.sh from xfree400 to install xfree400 over the broken 401. Answer "yes" only to those questions necessary to actually install xfree400, and "no" to **everything** else, otherwise you'll screw up the fonts amongst other things. Run xconfigurator and all is well. As to xfree402 I don't know. I'm trying to install it on a RedHat 7.0 system and it wants ld.so, but even when I give it ld.so it still asks for it - aren't computers dumb :-). Since XFree400 works splendidly with the Cyber 9397 I'm loathe to possibly break this installation until I prove 402. Peter

In the step "Hard Drive Detection" I get the error: An Error occurred: insmod'ing ide-cd failed. When I look at the console, it shows the following error: Warning insmod'ing module ide-cd failed at /usr/bin/per-install/modules.pm line 486. How can I fix this? I got the same message trying the 7.2 betas when 7.1 was the current release. I then tried copying all the files to the hard disk and rawrite'd a hd install floppy. That got everything installed, the bits that worked, that is, but it didn't boot properly. Sorry I don't have an answer, but I'd like to know why it doesn't work. Peter
