Hi,
I run RedHat 8 on a ASUS laptop (Intel 830M integrated video) with Gnome
2.
I recently installed a DVD/MPEG player (mplayer) successfully and
noticed that the current version of XFree86 (4.2) that I was using
didn't support hardware acceleration in the 830M. So I downloaded
the latest version (4.3) which has support for Intel chipset and did the
install. Fortunately, I saved my existing setup because nothing worked
after the install. X refused to load. I eventually was able to get TWM
to work after disabling runlevel 5 and using startx instead of gdm. I
have since copied back my old XFree86 distribution and am back where I
started.
Does anybody have any ideas where I went wrong?
Thanks,
--
