There are plenty of search engines for list archives, but not
many centralized ones (aside from groups.yahoo.com, where plenty
of listgroups are archived). However, the second best after that
is the search on Usenet and that is very much available on
groups.google.com and yes, that is probably the best source of my
information (probably better than google.com itself).

 I don't know RH 8 but RH 7.x generates two config files both located in
 /etc/X11.  The one XF86Config is there for those who use X 3.3.6 the
 other XF86Config-4 for those who use X 4.x.x If you have such a setup,
 any change to the wrong config file won't have much effect... Lionel

Red Hat 8.0 only generates a single file /etc/X11/XF86Config.  The 
XFree86-3.3.6 server and drivers have been completely removed and so the 
need for two sets of config files is gone.
