I didn't think of Linuxconf! Though, I doubt it will matter much in this case. :-(
It's not that I am excited about using Xconfigurator. I think it is a better non-graphical tool for targeting video problems in X than xf86config is. xf86config makes me go through setting that I don't need to concern myself with to resolve a video problem. It introduces variables that aren't important when video won't work. That's because it was designed to be 'the' tool for setting up X-wondows without graphics. Its simplicity makes doing a change a pain. Every time a choice bombs out, I have to start over, configure the mouse, the keyboard, the language, ad nauseum! Xconfigurator allows me to focus in on the area that is giving me trouble and bounce in and out of video, color depth, monitor choice, freq, etc. If this was MDK, I wouldn't be so sour, would I? ;-) I did finally get Xconfigurator on. It was messy, but it worked. Unfortunately, no joy. The cards I have left in my arsenal are all Linux supported, but not by RH 8.0. Their insistence to limit you only to XFree86 4.2.0 has locked out of the use of many cards older cards that are still supported by Linux, in general. Another healthy plug for Mandrake, but a bit of a tangle for me. Argh... :-< . I really was hoping for a miracle from you Stephen. :-) T
