Whoa, that panel information looks... odd. :^) I never knew ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ made laptop display panels... and at 65535x65535 your computer's screen would have to be several meters on a side. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that this information is bogus. Do you get the same information in Red Hat 9's XFree86's log? What version of XFree86 comes with Red Hat 9? 4.3.0? Try this: $ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o | grep xf86SetDDCproperties Tell us what results. On my system, I get U xf86SetDDCproperties Since my man page for nm(1) is entirely inadequate, I am forced to guess that U means it's undefined in the .o file but is utilized by one of the functions actually in the .o file. Besides, there's no address listed. However, /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a defines this symbol. $ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a | grep xf86SetDDCproperties 00000000 T xf86SetDDCproperties At least, I guess that means it's defined. What does T mean, anyway? It's a strong symbol, or something like that...? Where can I get help deciphering nm's output? Anyway, check to see if you have /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a. Try adding Load "ddc" in your Section "Module" entry at the top of your XF86Config file. Finally, there are no Modes lines in the SubSection "Display" entries near the end of your XF86Config file. I'm probably wrong here, but in my experience XFree86 can't run without some mode selections. It might be capable of choosing a default color depth, but I don't know for sure, so I always put a DefaultDepth line in each of my Section "Screen" entries. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ End communication. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
