Re: RH 7.2 not use Linuxconf? And VGA on-board problem

linuxconf is just not default installation anymore. you can install it by yourself. about your vga, my guess is that Xfree86.4.x doesn't support it , you need to get Xfree86 3.3.6 or Xfree86svga 3.3.6 , it would work. On Thursday 20 December 2001 03:43, you wrote: I just installed 7.2 and
