Thanx a Lot guys! Using the vesa driver worked... other solutions didnt.I mean I coudnt fing 3.3.x version... therewas no Xfree86 executable anywhere. I also tried installing the _SVGA package but its name was XF86_SVGA and not XFree86_SVGA anyway that guy didnt work either.... actually it turned off the monitor... the monitor did come back after I blindly shut the XServer (without logging out). Here the most interesting fact that I didnt mention last itime(out of ssounding stupid) is that matter of fact once when I had RH7.2 I could configure it!!!(may be at that time I had X point to 3.3.x .. I dont remember!! but after reinstalling(7.2 only) it didnt configure with the same options(all the three ways were tried...Xconfigurator,XFree86 -configure, edting the config file manually). There are only 2 things that I can think of as having caused this. -> as I said I might have X pointing to 3.3.x at first(cause I was going through man pages and trying different stuff) and second time the 4.x (this part I am sure I didnt relocate X) -> OK the first time I configured... the winmoden was not plugged in the pci slot... and the second time it was.... that could be causing a ....errrr....problem??
Again thanx a lot...I got a temporary solution now... I also want to try and debugg the problem my self... but strange!!! the RH ppl dont budle the source of X with the package!!!!well I will download it :) I dont think the config files would be any help but here they are.
