Re: [LI] X under S3 Trio 3D.

["sanjeev v.kumar" <jiggy_78@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi shibajyoti,
           to install a svga or accelerated Xserver check the RedHat/RPMS 
dir in the redhat installation CD.U will find RPMs named
XF86_xxxx.rpm where xxxx is the name of the server like XF86_SVGA.rpm
just install the necessary server by using the command rpm -ivvh XF86*.rpm
this will install the server.it will be installed in /usr/bin/X11R6 dir.
to test it U Can just run it from this location.but it might not work.
run the Xconfigurator or better XF86Setup and select the installed driver 
i.e. server.and select the mode one by one.bingo U got Xserver on.
if u till have problems edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and manually 
configure it.also check the files /etc/x11/xinit/Xclients and 
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
more help info or man xinit.
u might also need to make two symbolic links to the server one in
/usr/X11R6/bin/X and /etc/X11/X
