Hi Jonathan, My be you misunderstood my question about RH. I am perfectly confident with Slackware. Your are right, I have colleges using Debian and SuSe and they all say Debian is good but SuSe is better from security point of view. SuSe has also turned out to contributed a lot to XFree86.
modeprobe. ========== No, this not strictly related to X in any way. It is supposed to find out what "modules" to be inserted into the kernel. It is normaly defined in /lib/modules/... depending on the installation. char-mayor-226 tells it should be a device /dev/... Can not currently find the standard allocation of device mayor allocations. I have it. Just can't locate it just now.

No problems with X in that one. I think SuSE is ok. >My video in SuSE runs well. However I am curious about the "modprobe: >can't locate char-major-226" warning.
