Hi,

I am using Redhat Enterprise 3 with a fully installation. My old graphics card has a problem and I want to replace to another one that is different from the old one. When I tried to run redhat-config-xfree86, I could not get the X configuration Tool and the error messages are shown as follow. Would you please tell me what was wrong and what I should do?

Thanks,

njlg

you could always edit /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand

Thanks Bosewicht.

Would you please you tell me how I can find the the new card driver if I edit XF86Config? Is that a way to list all drivers with corresponding device name?

i would google ur card....
what kind of card do you have?

Thanks bosewicht. My card is PNY Quadro4 980 XGL.

so you need to install the nvidia drivers and do a search for Quadro4 here are LQ. There are a lot of posts about what you need to do with a lot of X config examples

Thanks a lot.

no problem
