Hello All,

We bought a brand new PC and installed Red Hat 8.0 on
it. The video card didn't work because there are no
drivers for the on-board Intel 845 video card in the
version of XFree86 shipped with Red Hat 8.0. On
Intel's website it was recomended to download the
latest CVS snapshot of XFree86. So I downloaded all of
the binaries for the latest CVS snapshot of XFree86,
which is 4.2.99.901. I installed all of the packages
in that snapshot and overwrote my old configuration
files.

Now when I restart the computer, it goes into the X
window environment but the message dialog box in the
lower  right corner keeps on printing "console log
localhost.localdomain" over and over again and doesn't
do anything else. The mouse stays as a sandbox and the
system doesn't respond to anything.

Do you have any suggestions what I may have done
wrong? Should I not have overwritten the old
configuration files? Why does the message box keep on
printing console log localhost.localdomain over and
over?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you very much,
Mete
