Assuming that it really WILL help, I notice here: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-November/012731.html that Mike Harris this past November was working on getting 4.2.0 into an RPM-able state. Is that done now? I couldn't find anything on RedHat's web site about it I've had XFree86 4.2.0 in RPM packages since three days before 4.2.0 was officially announced as released by XFree86.org. My local build environment is quite automated now, so you can fully expect whenever a new official release of XFree86 is announced that I have already got experimental RPM packages made of it. Red Hat's developmental packages appear in Red Hat Rawhide, which is an ongoing developmental snapshot made pretty much daily of our internal development efforts. You can get XFree86 4.2.0 from Rawhide at: ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide To use these packages you'll need to also use the Rawhide kernel, and also upgrade possibly other packages from rawhide too. I built 4.2.0 rpm's for RHL 7.2 for a while, but have stopped doing so because changes in my XFree86 packaging has caused it to not build in our strict build system anymore. I plan on releasing 4.2.0 rpm's for 7.2 again at some point in the future, but it probably wont be right away. Hope this helps. TTYL -- -- Mike A.

[Newbie]Problems with Samtron SC-428VS (E)
Hello, My problem is that I only can get a resolution of 640x480, but both my card and my monitor supports 800x600 mode. I have a Samtron SC-428VS (E) monitor, and my card is a PCI Trident TGUI9440. I've recently installed Slackware 8 - but with Mandrake 8.0 I had the same problem- This monitor is not in a data base list where I can choose it, and I think it is a very important pert of the problem. The clues I have I get they from X -probeonly, and the messages are: Not using default mode 640x480 (hsync out of range) Not using default mode 800x600 (bad mode clock / interlace / doublescan) .. Do you know what can I do? Can you help me? I want to use some apps in graphic mode, but in a 640x480 I have very large icons. Thank for your help.

[Newbie]glide problem
Hi all, I've just finished installing XFree86 and I've run the configuration, but when I do the config Iget an error about not being able to load the glide module.The thing isI'm using an nvidia card so I shouldn't be using glide anyway right? The XFree86Config.new file shows my card as being nvidia too so I'm really confused. This is my first ever attempt at installing anything on Linux so maybe I've just missed something obvious.

[Newbie]Support for Multilanguage Keyboard
Hi, Please forgive me if I am posting to the wrong list. I am trying to configure my X server to work with 3 languages: English, Hebrew and Arabic. I found here and there xkb files which map keys to English/Hebrew or English/Arabic keyboard, but I don't know how do I combine the two of them, so that I will have support for three languages at the same time. I did find a file that supports three languages at once (English, Rusian and Latvian), but the way it does so, is to defined all the three languages at one file, that means that the table of xkb_symbols contain three groups at once. I find this inconvenient. I believe that there is a better way to combine maps from different files. What I need is a simple way to switch from English to Hebrew to Arabic etc. I could not find anyway a detailed documentation about the format of the symbols configuration files. Could anyone please explain or point me to a resource where I can find how to make it work? If it is the wrong list, please refer me to the right one.

[Newbie]X stopped working again - and the 'final' solution...
Last month I wrote in because X was crashing at start up. Thanks to Ted Spradley and Jarmo Paavilainen I tracked down one culprit - not enough space in the root directory due to a core dump file. I pitched the file and got X going again. About 10 days ago it happened again, even after following the (very valid) suggestions to minimize root use. What I found (finally) all via command line - 1. I used 'df' to discover that '/' was 100% full again 2. I used 'find -time -n' to locate all files that had been modified since X started working again. 3. I then used 'du' in the respective directories to find which files were memory hogs. 4. I found Netscape is located in the root directory. Its cache file grew every time I used it, in any account. the cache files had grown large enough to consume all space left in the '/' partition. 5. I removed all the cache files via the command line, freeing up enough space to allow X to start again. Now to remember to purge Netscape's cache files regularly and to shrink them to manageable size... Though it looks like I can relocate them anywhere... I hope this helps someone in the future Paul Sherman Biomedical Engineer VA Center for Engineering Occupational Safety and Health (CEOSH) St. Louis, MO [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

If memory serves (system's at home, I'm at work), for my install the default is all under /root/netscape not my choice, that's where it ended up.

Are there any patches to 4.2.0 source that I could use to get my Geforce4 MX420 working for RedHat linux 7.2, or do I need to get the CVS and compile that to get a working X System? I'm willing to go the CVS route, but i was hoping there was a simple patch for 4.2.0 that I could use. I've spent the last couple of days trying to create myself an RPM for it because I'm stubborn, but if there is one available that would be great as well.
