I have a via mobo w/ onboard graphics card which is recognised as Trident Cyberblade/1i. I checked the XFree.org site and it is mentioned as being supported by both 3.3.6 as well as 4.1. I'll try what you said over the weekend. This is my clinic pc and I can't really afford to fiddle too much with it. Anyway it ain't broke so I'm not too keen I want to fix it :-). My home pc has an old Cirrus Logic card and that runs X 4.0.3 but I preferred the display I got with the X that came w/ RH 6.2. > > If your card is supported... then uninstall 3.3.6 from your machine > > rpm -qa |grep XFree86 |grep 3.3.6 > > and uninstall the packages you don't need indivudually... > > or remove them all in one blow using.... > > rpm -e `rpm -qa |grep XFree86 |grep 3.3.6` > > and install all the XFree86-4.0.3 rpms from your CD (or since you did a > full install it might already be on your machine. Is there a way I can have both the servers on the machie but using only one at a time ? Like maybe startx (or some other file) pointing to X 4.0.3 which if it does not work, I can just change to link to point to X 3.3.6. Is it possible ? regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.
