I have tried a few things to get my multihead going in my Red Hat 8.0 installation. XFree86 is version 4.2.0. Anaconda gave me just the "vesa" driver and a cloned display. I've tried a few basic things that do not work. I've tried the XFree86 -configure and got some error warnings about a .h file with a missing entry. I tried the ATI drivers over at ATI's site and using the Check.sh script, I am getting the cryptic message:
"No Linux/ix86 binaries for this libc version" I might try installing this RPM package if I had slightest idea that that this message was saying it was OK to do so. I also include here my latest XF86Config file: # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection #Added by me ...

I think I may have ran the installation of this Red Hat 8.0 with the Plug and Play OS setting in my motherboard's BIOS set to "disable". Could this be the source of my problems? I am having trouble getting my onboard sound going and I wonder it is for the same reason. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
