Administrative notice: xfree86-list <at> redhat.com mailing list deprecation alert.

This is an administrative notice to the members of the list, that
this mailing list is now deprecated and will probably be disabled
at some point in the future.

The list was initially intended to provide a forum for users of
Red Hat Linux to discuss XFree86 related problems without having
to join one of the high volume OS specific lists, or the generic
redhat-list <at> redhat.com.  It was also intended to enable myself to
keep track of XFree86 specific issues easier by monitoring a single
lower volume list, than to have to keep track of the large number
of high volume per-OS-release mailing lists we used to maintain
at Red Hat in the past.

In Fedora Core 2, we switched to X.Org X11 from XFree86, and we
have now released 2 Fedora Core releases with xorg-x11 as the
supported X11 implementation.  Additionally, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 ships xorg-x11 instead of XFree86.

Since our switch to X.Org X11 away from XFree86, the already
low volume on this mailing list has dropped quite a bit, which
I believe is indicative that while not all people upgrade to
each new OS release, the majority of people using our community
OS releases have upgraded to FC2 or later already, and seem to
participate in the various Fedora mailing lists we provide, as
well as the upstream xorg <at> freedesktop.org mailing list.

For a while, I've debated wether or not it would be useful to
create a new mailing list named "x-list <at> redhat.com" or something
similarly X11 implementation generic with which to replace this
list, however the volume on this list has dropped significantly,

Regarding resolution


Greetings!!!

I'm currently using a Redhat 9 system with the following specifications

Monitor    - HMC 582
Video card - Intel i810

I'm able to configure X but when i decrease the resolution browser ( 
mozilla ) gives a weird colour. So i set the default depth to 24 which was 
not supported. When the default depth was set to 16 it worked fine but 
with huge windows ( not the actual resolution ).

What can be done regarding this??? I don't want installing Fedora core 2 
as the solution.

Regards
Nisha

problem with xfree86

Hi again!!!

I continued with my problem of xfree86, i compiled a kernel 2.4.26 in my 
s.o. red hat enterprise 3 (udpate 2). I do not have any problem in the 
compilation but now I lose the Xwindow.

In the file /var/log/messages appear:

          mdmpd failed
          modprobe: Cant locale module char-major-10-224
          modprobe: Cant locale module char-major-10-134
          gdm[3098]gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: (fatal erro of X)

In the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log appear:
       (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (NO such device)

I do not find more errors, what is happen??

Thanks,
MARIA.

problem with XFree86, red hat enterprise 3 and kernel 2.4.26

Hi!!
I am newcomer in this list, I am here because i have a problem with xfree86 
obviously!!

I have a problem with XFree and Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 in a server.

I had to compile a kernel 2.4.26 in order to achieve shutdown the server, 
because the original kernel does not support ACPI (the bios neither support 
apm). I achieved shutdown the system with acpi in this kernel, but now 
xfree86 does not work. Nothing more looks fail.

We had the same problem when we compiled other kernels, I think is a problem 
of red hat enterprise, I consider is a system very fanciful and delicate, 
but I do not know how to repair it. Has someone any idea?? Can someone help 
me?? Had someone a similar problem??

Thanks for your attention. And excuse me for my poor english.
Maria.

Can't get XFree86 to work with SiS chipset

I just installed Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 on a machine that has a SiS 661FX-series video chip set in it. 
Unfortunately, I can't get XFree86 to work.

No matter what SiS driver I choose in the Xconfigurator, I always get a message saying that there was a
problem with my X configuration.

I tried downloading one of the precompiled drivers from Thomas Winischhover's site, but I'm not having any
luck with that either.

Is there a way to get AS 2.1 to work with this video chipset?

Thanks for any help...

need help with graphics adapter coniguration

Hello

I am a newbie and I am desperately looking for help. I
want to learn Linux but I am struggeling to get the
resolution right.

I have installed 9.0, X is giving me a major headache.
Whenever i configure the resolution to be anything
above 600x480, the monitor goes black after initial
booting. The installation recognises the Monitor and
the graphics card correctly. I have tried different
monitors, but the results were the same. The biggest
problem with it is now, that each time I try to change
settings and the screen goes "black", I have to
reinstall it all over again.

Can someone help me to tweak the settings so that I
can see a 1024x768 resolution.

Thank you very much

Dom

XFree86 stopped working

I am using 2.1 ES.  I can no longer get into Xwindows.  I believe that this came about due to a video board replacement, but am unsure.  I am not very versed on Linux.  I had a problem with a video board so, I replaced it.  Is there a way to reconfigure X without having to reinstall everything?

Dual Head Matrox g550 on rhel3

Greetings,

I am trying to configure X to use my dual heads (hanging off a Matrox
G550).  I'd prefer a xinerama display, but would settle for dual
independent displays in a pinch if that's the best we can do...

I haven't had any luck with the standard configuration tools (no
indication anywhere that they even recognize the dual headedness of the
system).  I am running a nice clean RHEL3 install with all of the
updates installed.  It is running on an Athlon64 if that matters.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Are dual heads supported
for the G550 under RHEL3?

Thanks,
Tad

Dual Monitor Setup Radeon 7000 on Redhat 9

Hello,

I've got this setup about 90% complete now.  I'm using
an ATI Radeon 7000 on a Redhat 9 system, using a video
card splitter which splits the signal two ways.  When
I startx, both monitors are activated and the desktop
spans across both screens.  When I move my mouse from
my left monitor (Screen 0) to my right monitor (Screen
1), the right monitor shuts off (power is still on
though, but the monitor goes blank).  I've followed
the directions in these threads:
