Hey Anthony.  Just as a tip, you will probably want to include a *LOT*
more information than this when asking for help on the list.

BTW, both my roommate and I have XFree 4.0 running on our machines.  Our
machines are not pure RedHat 6.2 (in other words, many packages have been
updated...)  You should not have a problem with XFree 4.0 (unless the
drivers don't work, you installed it incorrectly, etc...this is why we
might need some more info...)

I had a problem with compiling 4.0 when I tried it, so I went to the
binaries, installed those, and everything worked fine.  I had to change
some syntactical things in the XF86Config file though...otherwise no
problems.

Mike
