Yes indeed folks it looks as though X no longer restarts without notice on me. I FIXED IT! Now If I only know HOW! :-( All I did is rip out - actually gently extracted using rpm - all my X related stuff and re-installed it. The only major difference I can point to is the mode line in my XF86Config where I took out the +horizontal -vertical stuff. One thing that still bugs me is the glx. I have both XF86-3x and 4x installed. When I installed the glx for 4x it complained about the 3x glx being there, and it still complains. Any clues? ATI Rage 128 Furry. TIA, Steve
No real clues, but did you try removing 3x? There must be some part of it remaining somewhere...If you can even find one file you can rpm -qf <file> which will tell you the package it is part of...This is in case you do not know the name of the frpm package. Your problem could well be that you cannot have both 3x and 4x on the system...? I am not sure, just suggesting a few ideas... ATI Rage Furry? Does that thing overheat having all that fur all over it? OR do you live in cold climes :-). Matt On Saturday 17 February 2001 06:10 am, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Matt, According to the article on the SuSE portal XF86-3 and -4 can coexist on the same install. One of the problems I had was with dependencies related to OpenGL and/or mesa stuff. When I tried to run xtraceroute (which I never got working) it griped about not having some GL lib file. The only place I could find the file was in the GLX for XF86-3.x. When I tried to install that, I received a dependency warning from rpm saying it conflicted with the currently installed GLX. I have no way of knowing if the stupid GLX is working. Nor do I understand what DRI is WRT GLX. I very much want to work with 3D graphics and Mathematica, but I don't want to spend another week trying to get the thing working. Here's the article: http://portal.suse.de/en/printer.php?2occccccccccccccccccccmcococcccccocccccccococcccccccccccccccc&content/desktop/x11_updateproblem.html Oh, and one more thing. You're WIDE OPEN dude, but i'm not gonna take it....this time. {;-)> Steve
Hi Steve, If you are not sure that glx is working you can try re-directing output to a textfile. I have done it before, and I believe its something like this: startx > textfile. That way you can see what is failing. The other way would be to go back as quick as possible to the terminal screen where you launched X from. There kight be a third way too (probably more than that. GLX is hardware accleration, whilst DRI is direct rendering interface. I maybe wrong, but I believe you use on or the other...Cannot remember what the Fury takes, if you have 2.4 source you can look under DRI to see what cards its supporting. Its a real pain I know, which is why I came rather quickly to the conclusion to let SuSE fiddle around with this and get it right for the install :-). Matt On Sun, 18 Feb 2001 06:09:42 Steven T.
