Install the XFree86 src.rpm, edit the spec file, change the line DebuggableBuild to 1, and append "dbg" do the Release number. Then do: rpm -bb XFree86.spec The resulting packages contain full debug code and symbols for everything. You can debug it then with gdb from: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/gdb-xfree86 >Additional information: >System is a PIII-800 running RH7.2 with 2.4.18 with pre-empt and XFS. >Card is a Radeon 7500 >I've seen this both with the binaries on XFree and with my own builds >from today's CVS from DRI. Red Hat Linux 7.2 doesn't support the Radeon 7500. You need XFree86 4.2.0 for Radeon 7500 support, which comes with Red Hat Linux 7.3. good luck, TTYL -- Mike A.
