Another Xwindows Problem
 
Hi,

Well I have an Xwindows problem to. I can get it to work
with RedHat 7.1 with my computer. But when I try to,
including installing Redhat 6.2 besides text mode, start
any sort of X session it fails. And it just dies when it fails.
So I tried to install 7.1 copy the XF86Config file to a floppy
and then unistall 7.1 and reinstall 6.2 and then use that
XF86Config file and it still doesnt work. Can anyone suggest
any help? Is it a Video Card problem or a monitor problem?
The Xconfigurator finds my video card, ATI-RAGE 128 Pro,
but it cannot find a monitor type.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Mike

Well 6.2 has a older version of xfree86 most likely that doesn't support your card. I believe if you want 6.2 on your machine, your going to have to install the later version of xfree86, either from their site or you can most likely get it off your 7.1 cd's.
