Greetings,
When I replaced RedHat
8.0 with 9.0 on my system, the configuration of X failed. My monitor, a
ViewSonic VG171 would display "out-of-range." My video card is an NVIDIA
GeForce4 Ti4400. RedHat support told me I have to download and install
the current NVIDIA driver - which I have done. The installation was
successful, as far as I can tell. RedHat does not supply
/usr/X386/bin/xf86config, which I had several years experience with in my
"slackware years" in the early to mid 90's. When I run their
"redhat-config-xfree86", I get the same "out-of-range" error on my
display.
I had to install RedHat
9.0 in text mode. Apparently, I can't use redhat-config-xfree86 unless I
already have a "working" configuration file. So, I think I have several
options: i) I could obtain a copy of xf86config from you folks - if you tell
me how - and create a configuration file, or ii) I could reinstall RedHat 8.0,
configure X, copy the configuration files to floppies (or a CD), reinstall 9.0
and copy the files back in, or iii) edit the configuration files in my current
9.0 installation (if I could find out how) to allow me to startx, and then use
the redhat-config program to tweak the configuration.
It is my sincere hope
that one or more of your associates has some applicable experience and/or
wisdom in this regard.
Thank you for your time
and attention.
Bob Utter
