Regarding Ragini's question (see below). Perhaps this will supplement what Lionel has said regarding getting 3.3.6 from RH 7.2 distribution.:
I don't know if this is exactly what you need, but RH gave me the following instructions in order to get 3.3.6 running on my machine. Upon installing RH 7.2 there was no XFree86-S3V server on my hard drive, and the XF86 4.xx SVGA server wouldn't work with my system and its Compaq OEM version S3 Virge video card.. I learned that I needed the old 3.3.6 XF86_S3V server, but it hadn't been installed on my hard drive. I asked RH how to do it and got the following reply: "About the video settings, we suggest that you install the XFree86-S3V package which is located at the Red Hat CD#2, under the RedHat/RPMS directory. To install that package please use this command: rpm -ivh XFree86-S3V* Then issue this command to reconfigure the settings: Xconfigurator --expert --preferxf3 --server XF86_S3V" This worked for me! It would seem that the XF86 that RH installed both 4.xx and 3.3.6, but not all of the 3.3.6 servers.

There may be a way to convince it to install both 3.3.6 and 4.x.x but I have no idea >how >:-( >Lionel >--- "Prasad, Ragini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Thanks for replying. >> >> However, I have no file with XF86_* in /usr/X11R6/bin >> >> This is why I asked, how do i generate / create / install , such that file >> with XF86* is created. >> >> Ragini. >> _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
