Hello, I am attempting to run X on my RH 7.3 installation with no luck. What is strange is that the same hardware ran X under 7.2 flawlessly! Also, I used the graphical install and went through the X setup with no errors. I have tried everything I know even copying the old XF86Config from the 7.2 installation with no success.I am running an old system (PII 166) with an S3 video card. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
