I have a Gateway Solo laptop with the Trident Cyber 9397 chip - not DVD
version.
It would not work with xfree401. Complained about a clock rate in the
Gigahertz range. I got Mandrake 7.2 to work with the original xfree400. I
did this by installing 7.x Expert mode and selecting 4.0.1 This of course
failed to run, but then I used the Xinstall.sh from xfree400 to install
xfree400 over the broken 401. Answer "yes" only to those questions
necessary to actually install xfree400, and "no" to **everything** else,
otherwise you'll screw up the fonts amongst other things. Run xconfigurator
and all is well.
As to xfree402 I don't know. I'm trying to install it on a RedHat 7.0
system and it wants ld.so, but even when I give it ld.so it still asks for
it - aren't computers dumb :-).
Since XFree400 works splendidly with the Cyber 9397 I'm loathe to possibly
break this installation until I prove 402.
