Experiencing failure in attempting to configure Xwindow system.
Monitor: NEC FE700 Graphics Card: ATI Radeon
I downloaded all necessary XFree86 4.0.2 rpm files from SuSE70 ftp site. Installed 4.0.2 by executing commands in the same folder/directory where files were placed. Used the commands in the Readme file exactly as stated: # rpm --nodeps --force -Uhv *.rpm # ldconfig
I rebooted computer and logged in as root and receive the following linux error message:
There is no link /var/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx which is the binary of the installed X-Server. Please link the files as mentioned above or install the X-Server and run xf86config again. I'm aborting now.
Honestly this sounds more like it's running 3.3.x then 4.0.x. A couple of things. The Radeon doesn't use the SVGA driver anymore. It I think uses the r128 driver. Secondly the link should be to lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Oct 6 18:43 X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 Not to a driver for one card. Nick
