Pardon my intrusion, but is any of this documented anywhere in a concise way? I have had to upgrade to 4.3.0 on my RH8/Athelon to get a dual head radeon 9000 system to work, but 4.3.0 seems unstable. I'm getting random crashes. I've asked RH how to set the system up but they have refused to help stating that I haven't paid them enough for that level of support. I'd like to have the option of running both the RH 4.2 and the 4.3 with out having to reload the whole distro and them go through the 130meg's of online updates to get the system current... If its in the doc's some where would you kindly point me at it? If not, could you give me a more complete idea of what would be necessary to switch between several versions of the X server on a single system? Thanks.
