Is /usr/X11R6/bin/SVGA present? That should be /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA, of course. a work around for Xconfigurator problem is to copy /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA to /usr/X11R6/bin/SVGA. Xconfigurator then worked perfectly and we could use any resolution. Can you remove that symlink, the /etc/X11/X symlink, run Xconfigurator and see what /etc/X11/X is? Does this defect still exist with (on) Winston beta-4? We've fixed this in CVS. Worked using (Xfree86) and (xf86cfg 4.0.1)when Xconfigurator is ran system has a core dump. Verified and fixed in CVS We are still having this problem in beta 5, Nvidia NV10 GeForce Worked using (Xfree86) and (xf86cfg 4.0.1) when Xconfigurator is ran system has a core dump. Geforce II NV 10 Vender ID= 10de Device ID= 100 Xconfigurator and xfcfg do not work. xf86config works if linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and XF86Config is edited manually. Beta5 did not have the GeForce fix, 4.3.37 has - available from http://people.redhat/com/teg/xc/ New RPM Xconfigurator-4.3.37-1.i386.rpm fixed problem. |
Issue: GUI Install RedHat 7.0 Beta 3 on Dell Precision WS-620 Configuration Processor: P-III Processor Config: Single Processor Processor Speed: 933 MHz Ram Size: 1536 Mb Dual SCSI HD 18GB. Video Card: NVIDIA Geforce 256 Sound Card: Santa Cruz (CS4630) CD-ROM: 32x IDE NIC on-board 3C90X Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse After installing on the WS620 with a Synergy Force (NV10) via floppy boot, startx came up at 640x480 resolution. I attempted to run Xconfigurator to fix the resolution and chose the NVIDIA GeForce 256 (generic) from the video card list. Xconfigurator then exited out reporting that Server doesnt exist, cant continue. tried to use ../../usr/X11R6/bin/SVGA. I then attempted to use xf86cfg, I chose the Riva TNT2 but this did not work after this, startx no longer functioned at all.
