Hi, I run RedHat 8 on a ASUS laptop (Intel 830M integrated video) with Gnome 2.
I recently installed a DVD/MPEG player (mplayer) successfully and noticed that the current version of XFree86 (4.2) that I was using didn't support hardware acceleration in the 830M. So .... I downloaded the latest version (4.3) which has support for Intel chipset and did the install. Fortunately, I saved my existing setup because nothing worked after the install. X refused to load. I eventually was able to get TWM to work after disabling runlevel 5 and using startx instead of gdm. I have since copied back my old XFree86 distribution and am back where I started. Does anybody have any ideas where I went wrong?
