The particular package you want is xorg-x11-6.8.2-31.rpm. The particular file from that package is usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a.

Thanx Bruse for re-posting this, I will try it at school tomorow!

hello help.

I have already installed that?

If using the most uptodate xorg-x11 package oesn't solve the problem, then try using the libvgahw.a file from FC3. You can get it at this URL:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/libvgahw.a

Sorry, I made a mistake. The updated xorg-x11 package is xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm. Try this before getting the FC3 version of libvgahw.a.

The bugzilla report for this problem is #161242. Look it up on bugzilla.redhat.com for all the gory details.

I have install problem.

It looks for more files,why?I have installed that.It grows.

The xorg-x11 package is just one package among many that make up the X11 system. It depends on others. The easiest way to get the ones you need is to use yum:

yum update xorg-x11

This will figure out the chain of prerequisites, download them all and install them.

Or you can extract the libvgahw.a file from the xorg-x11 rpm (look at rpm2cpio if you don't know how) and try using it.

In the long run, you'll be better off if you keep your system up to date. You can do this with:

yum update

This will install all the rpms you've got installed that have been updated since the original release of FC4.

I have had the same problems, and I tried what has been said...

I downloaded the xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm, and it says it needs: xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm, and xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm.

I have all 3 of these downloaded, I am just wondering how to install them. I can't figure out YUM, and if I just try to run each one, they all need both of the others for dependencies.

sorry, I am a bit of a

Thanx in advanced!

You should be able to go to the directory where the new rpms are and install with:

rpm -i xorg-x11*.rpm

Also, in a normal Fedora install, yum is pre-configured, so just typing

yum update
or
yum update xorg-x11*

should also work

Here is what I get when I try the YUM update:

Anyone else have any ideas for this problem?
