I don't know what you are running, but in my case was: - Download XFree-4.2 source files - Edit Makefile to install on /usr/local/X11R6 - make world - make install - edit /etc/XF86config-4: the first time I change the driver to "ati" (it works) the second time I chande the driver to "radeon (it works, too) - /usr/local/X11R6/bin/X -probeonly (fine) - Edit /usr/gdm/gdm.conf (mainly change the path of X and add /usr/local/X11R6/bin before the another one). Currently I have XFree86-4.1 (from debian package) and 4.2 installed, the fonts used coming from XFree86-4.1 (it doesn't matter, I guess) That's all. -- German Poo Caaman~o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/chilelindo.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
