Nick, Thank you for your reply. This definitely seems worth checking out. I d/l'ed all the 4.0.2 rpm's and installed them using the readme doc instructions, but who knows, something may have gone wrong nonetheless. How can I find out what version of XFree86 is running on my machine?
Try xdpyinfo. It outputs loft of stuff and on the first lines you should find something like "vendor release number:" which states 4002 for XFree 4.0.2.
Also, here's my latest output message after editing xf86config file to state "r128" in the device driver section: XF86Config: /etc/XF86Config
For XFree4, the default place for the config file is under /etc/X11/XF86Config. If XFree looks for this file, it will certainly ends complaining about errors because this file is probably the config file for XFree3.
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values (--) no ModulePath specified using default: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules dbe: Unknown error loading module
Config Error: /etc/XF86Config: 48
Subsection "extmod" ^^^^^^^^^
Module section keyword expected X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). ________________________________________________ What does this mean? What do I need to fix?
Maybe use xf86config4 to configure your server.
Thank you for your help.
