I was in /usr//X11R6/lib/X11 when I ran the grep command so I
think it should have worked. grep string file right? When I
substituted S3 for MediaGX it returned a bunch of matches. I also
looked at every entry in Cards and did not find MediaGX or anything
else related to Cyrix.
>From what I read on the Red Hat site support should have been
there, but what I have is not the official Red Hat release. Apparently
there were problems with MediaGX in Red Hat 5.2 and there is a
package to correct it.
I guess there is plenty to learn about using linux from the
command line without worrying about getting the GUI running.
Thanks for your input.
Merry Xmas
