Re: Xfree86 problem

[Ravi Pratap M <ravi_hyper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ashish !

	If you want to install your SVGA server, pick the appropriate RPM (from the 
PCQ Cd Mar 99) from the rh52updates directory under pcq-linux.

	Your card should be supported and should have an SVGA server of it's own. 
If it doesn't have a separate server then the normal XFree86SVGA server 
should do. After installing the server, you must run XFree86Setup to 
configure the server. That should take care of things and hopefully you'll 
have your server up and running in SVGA mode ! Try reading the XFree86 HoWTO 
- -- should help a bit !

	Cheers !

Ravi
