If you have RH 7.x then you have both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x (4.0.1 for RH 7.0, 4.0.3 for RH 7.1 and 4.1.0 for RH 7.2) Probably your /etc/X11/X points to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 which is 4.x.x just to test the various possibility rename X i.e. cd /etc/X11 mv X X4xx then recreate X as a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA -if this be the server which corresponds to your card: in 3.3.6 you have different servers for different cards, in 4.x.x you have one server using different drivers (which are modules) this is a more flexible approach...- ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA X I hope I gave you the right order (target followed by link) you should maybe do a man ln
Once you have this startx will call the 3.3.6 server... You will have to excuse me but I won't go into the details on how to make a script invoking the one or the other depending on the userid Lionel --- "Prasad, Ragini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I dont have any file corresponding to X server 3.x on my system.
