You should now have received the
XFCom-neomagic-glibc-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
attached is in info file.
I have a Debian rather than Redhat installation so I can't provide you
with additional installation info. When you have run the .rpm
installation
process, their may be info files in /usr/doc/xserver/XFcom something.
That's where my Debian package installer puts the information.
The XF86Config file will either be read from your /root director of from
/etc/X11/
Under Debian there is a file
/etc/X11/Xserver like:
==============================
/usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA
Console
The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X
server.
The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server:
RootOnly
Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console)
Anybody
=====================================
which tells the system which Xserver to use. On my desktop of the moment
its
XF86_SVGA but yours should be XFcom something

Download and Installation Instructions
Although you can place the downloaded .rpm file in any directory of your choosing,
we suggest you ftp the file into the /tmp directory and then execute
the appropriate RPM command from that directory to install the .rpm file.
When the RPM command runs, it will automatically place the component files
of the X Server into the correct loctions in your system.
NOTE: see the Red Hat manual for more details on the use of RPM.
Red Hat 5.x (glibc) systems:-
1) get the file to your system
cd /tmp
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XFCom/XFCom-neomagic-glibc-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
2) install the files using RPM
rpm -ivh XFCom-neomagic-glibc-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
3) after installing run (as root):
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_NeoMagic /etc/X11/X
mv /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.old
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config.neomagic /etc/X11/XF86Config
Red Hat 4.x (libc5 systems):-
1) get the file to your system
cd /tmp
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XFCom/XFCom-neomagic-libc5-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
2) install the files using RPM
rpm -ivh XFCom-neomagic-libc5-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
3) after installing run (as root):
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_NeoMagic /etc/X11/X
chmod 4711 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_NeoMagic
mv /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.old
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config.neomagic /etc/X11/XF86Config
Special instructions for subnotebook users (e.g. Toshiba Libretto 100CT):-
If your panel is a non-standard resolution (e.g. 800x480), you will
want to start with the XF86Config file at:
/etc/X11/XF86Config.libretto100ct
A description of the supported configuration options can be found at:
/usr/doc/XFCom-neomagic-glibc-2.0.0/README
<or>
/usr/doc/XFCom-neomagic-libc5-2.0.0/README
If you want to run you system in various color depths start X with the following
command from the command line:
startx -- -bpp #
Replace # with 8, 16, or 24 to get the desired number of bits per pixel
You can accomplish the same thing by editing your XF86Config file to comment
out the display subsections above the color depth of interest. This will allow
you to run in the desired color depth without having to use the -bpp flag when
you execute the startx command.
