I used this method to upgrade to 4.2 on my Winbook J1 that has a Trident Cyberblade i1 card. I also have gotten full screen working this way.
HOWEVER, I allowed the install to set symbolic links, but Y to overwrite files. Now I don't have KDE anymore. Could these 2 be related? It's been suggested to set my default window manager to KDE and I'll try that first, but the login looks like a KDE interface, but with a wierd background. I can select KDE from a pull-down menu, but it still dumps me to xms (what IS xms anyway?). Perhaps installing the KDE rpm right off the disks at this point?

Redhat comes with an older version of XFree, but, you will need the
XFree86-4.2 loaded to use the CyberBladeAi1/XP driver.
So go to this link http://www.xfree.org/4.2.0/Install2.html#2 and download
the listed files from this link
http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc22/.
I installed the new version over the old one with no problems. When the
install script asks to make symbolic links say YES and when it askes if you
want to overwrite any config files say NO.
When that is done, do not use the XFree86 -configure command because it will
give you a Glide error. Use the xf86config program to setup your hardware.
On the monitor setting I used the SVGA that has 1024 x 768.
Then save the new config settings and you should be able to startx with no
problems. GOOD LUCK!
