Did you search the archives of the list for help on getting DRI to work with Radeon 7500 on RedHat7.2? There have been several discussions over the past few months. The RH7.2 kernel needs to have the DRM modules built for it so that it can interact with DRI in XF86-4.1.X - XF86-4.2.X These issues have been addressed by RedHat with the release of updates/enhancements: 1. XF86 updates http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2002-010.html Make sure that you download the xinitrc from "noarch" and the X stuff from "7.2" -Oisin _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
