Hi all! I made a few upgrades to my system including X. I started by the kernel. I use Red Hat 7.2 with an Athlon Classic 700 and 256 Mb RAM, I upgraded the kernel from 2.4.7-10 to 2.4.9-21 compiled for athlon processors. I downloaded and installed version 4.2 of X, also on irc.redhat.com #xfree86 someone told me to download an RPM version, so I did. Now after I upgraded kernel and X from the binaries from XFree86's binary distro I lost my graphical loggin, checking into the rest of the mailing list I hopefully know how to solve this problem, but when trying to upgrade X 4.2 to the RPM version (it is a newer build) then I am told that kernel-drm 4.2.0 is needed by XF 4.2
Also DRI is not working with the X upgrade my video card is an ATi Radeon 7200 (basically a Radeon SDR with 64 Mb RAM). Any ideas? How could I install from binaries from XFree86's page if this kernel-drm 4.2.0 is not installed? and if you know, where can I get it? My system reports that I am currently using an older version of kernel-drm installed by the kernel upgrade. I do not want to install the kernel via souce because I am still a newbie to Linux. Thanks in advance for any information you could provide me with. PS: I know that some of you will say that the current RPM versions are unsupprted, but I hope to get DRI working by installing this way. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
