I compiled from the tarballs on the xfree86 site, not the source RPMs, on a test machine. Everything installed and ran just fine. I then did the same on my teacher's machine. I then walked the class throught the process, first installing needed RPMs. Here is a list of the packages that I made sure were present for the compile: binutils bison flex gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel glibc-kernheaders libpng-devel libstdc++ ncurses-devel zlib-devel You may wish to add this list to the documentation for the benefit of future tarball users. The result ran on all the machines except one. The program redhat-config-xfree86 failed to configure that machine. It had been sent back to the factory, so may have had slightly different hardware. I tossed in the hard drive on which I had done the original experimental compile and installation. That came up and ran correctly. I'll try putting my XFree86.config on that student's hard drive and see what happens. -- Charles Curley /"\ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ /Respect for open standards and/or writing?

You only need the updated kernel if you want direct rendering support. If this is worthless to you, don't bother with the updated kernel. Either way, installing 16 kernels from packages is far, far easier than compiling your own XFree86 and installing that 16 times ... -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thank you. According to his notes (ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/README-XFree86.txt), to install his package, I would have to upgrade to an experimental (rawhide) kernel. That's more work than the problem is worth to me. My fundamental problem is that I have a classroom with 16 computers in it with Intel 845G video chips. RH80 barely supports the chips (600x800 on good days). I'm teaching one Linux and upgrading 16 kernels and 16 XFree86 packages is more work than I want to do.

The "make install" phase includes some compilation, which I thought a bit odd. Also, root's log files are created as "nfsnobody", which is consistent with it being run as root on an nfs mount mounted with root squash. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
