Hi,
As some of you know, I'm working on a knowledge based system (a bot) that
checks incomming emails against a database of rules, to try to reduce the
workload of the volunteers here.
The trouble is that the same questions keep being asked.
Hopefully I can reduce the workload, but give a better response to people.
Attached is the rules I have so far.
The rules _really_ need looking over, and touched up.
Please please try and clean up anything you know to be incorrect, and add
anything that needs adding.
An email has to match every <match> rule, and every <oneof> rule, Matches
inside a <oneof> rule allow only one match to be made.

As of Red Hat 8.0 the default is to use only /etc/X11/XF86Config. The
use of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 was used up until then because of the
desire to support both XFree86-3.3.6 and XFree86-4.x.x. At the same
time the older RedHat written "Xconfigurator" tool was dropped and a new
"redhat-config-xfree86" tool introduced.
All RedHat 8.0 machines run the font server on 7100.

Power management is a long subject. Reply with "Tell me about
apm" in the subject for more information.

First there was APM - Advanced Power Management.
This worked okayish, but eventually something more powerful was
needed. ACPI is the newer version, however ACPI support is still not very
good in the linux kernel.
If you have a toshiba laptop, then you can get the toshibautilities to
do power management stuff.

There are acpi patches for the kernel at

First, It could be that you have some corrupted files.
Please do:
rpm --verify libnewt0.50
It should return nothing.
Second. Check that /etc/pam.d/xserver says something like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so
account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so
Third. In DEBIAN there was a file called /etc/Xwrapper.config
I do not know if there is an equivalent in RedHat.

The ATI Mobility card is an R200 core.
Both 2D and 3D will be supported in XFree86 4.3.0.

This is just a warning. You probably don't
have MTRR support compiled into your kernel.

The Geforce 4 Ti4200 (Asus v8420) was not supported in
the X server
that came with RedHat 8 or earlier.
