Hi !
Just installed RH 7.0 on a system having a Genoa Phantom 64 with the S3
864 chipset. Starting X causes always a crash, I guess because this S3 chip
is not supported by X 4 - i'm wondering if 7.0 really comes with 4.x.x (as
stated on the RH website). Executing startx and looking at the output shows
the following:
Xfree86 Version 3.3.6
and crashes with the message and an unknown error
Config Error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:48
Subsection "extmod"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Module section keyword expected
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
I tried to use the generic VGA setting, x starts, but all characters look
like barcode. I will try a lower resolution later on, but I have some
questions:
How do I get my grafic card to work with X 4 ? If there is no way, will
KDE2 work with X 3.3.6 ? Which version comes with a stock RH 7.0 ???
I would like to run X at some reasonable resolution and refresh rate. If
the card and its chipset is just to old, what would be a good alternative
as grafics card for X 4. Has to be a PCI card.
Great thanks in advance to anyone who replies (advice and flames are
welcome).
