There goes 18 months of therapy.
I prefer using xf86cfg to configure X rather than xf86config.
It's GUI based and if it works then maybe you made an error using the
console based tool.

I have lost all my mail since last Tuesday, so I don't know who to thank.
My problem was getting X running on a Dell Dimension with the Intel 845

How can one upgrade XFree86 if he doesn't have a

archive (tar, gzip, deb)?

Someone just asked this same question with a nearly identical computer, the answer that someone else gave was to get the latest CVS version of Xfree86 and compile it using the make World and make install.

I just solved this problem (with a little help from the mailing list). The
solution that worked for me is to retrieve the current state of the XFree86
code from their CVS server, run 'make World' and 'make install', then run
xf86config again. When I did that (with the same hardware you have) all
Amen. I was using RH, but I got on my nerves always waiting at starrtup for

Hi Zee,
Sorry that you run into this Linux problems. Linux is a very versatile
system, well above MS-Windows. I can see that a lot of people want
X + a WM to behave like a MS-Window. No problem to do so, but why
give up the flexibilty with Linux offered. Glad your Woody runs.

Hi Jonathan,
My be you misunderstood my question about RH.
I am perfectly confident with Slackware. Your are right,
I have colleges using Debian and SuSe and they all say
Debian is good but SuSe is better from security point of view.
SuSe has also turned out to contributed a lot to XFree86.

No, this not strictly related to X in any way. It is supposed to find
out what modules to be inserted into the kernel. It is normaly
defined in /lib/modules/... depending on the installation.

We evidently have been talking about different subjects, may be naming

works out. And if your system is working, just delete the opposing modprobe

Thanks for answering my RH inquiry.

Hi Filiep,
Why invest $'s in a new version to try it out. Linux is FREE. That's the
idea. Download a free distribution and then try your H/W out.
I am not answering on details in your inquire.
