hi!! I recently installed RedHat Linux 8 system in my computer with XFree86 version 4.2.0. However, since I am unable to get a resolution higher than 800 * 600 and i wanted 1024*768 resolution, I downloaded the latest version (full package along with optional components) of XFree86, 4.3 (Linux-ix86-glibc23) from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc23/ and installed it exactly according to to the instructions given in the XFree86 website. However, when i try to start XWindoows, I am unable to do so and the process ends with a fatal error. I am attaching the entire log file (/var/log/) for your inspection. The specs for my computer are: Pentium 4, 1.8 Ghz, 128 mb ddr ram, Original Intel 845 GLVA board with onboard sound and graphics, 40+10 gb hdd running Windows XP Professional version on the primary partition of my master hard disk (40 gb). I installed Linux on the second hard disk, slave (10 gb) with 259 mb swap, 30 mb boot and 3.9 gb '/' partition and 1.2 gb '/home' partition.. The remaining space of the 10 gb hard disk (about 4 gb) is formatted with FAT32 filesystem so that I can access it from windows. I used workstation installation option while installing Linux and formatted the boot, '/home' and '/'partition with ext3 file system. I use grub as my bootloader and by default, after 10 secs, I boot into Windows. Also, I am unable to find the text based graphical configuration tool that used to come with RedHat 7.1 and lower versions of Linux ('Xconfigurator'). Where is Xconfigurator and if absent, whats the alternative text based graphical tool provided for XConfiguration provided with RedHat Linux? Please give me directions and suggestions as to how I can install latest version of XFree86 in a trouble free way. I wld be really grateful since I desperately want a 1024x768 resolution in linux. and btw, as is mentioned in the installation guide, I have backed up the previous /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11 & /etc/fonts directories before installing the latest XFree86 version. regards, Anirban.
