When attempting to run startx under alpha, I get the error: no screens found Poking more I see that the XFree86_TGA package appears to still be the old 3.3 version, and is probably not compatible for X 4.0. -- Bruce Lysik eldrik
I do not have an Alpha, nor that video hardware, can someone at meridian please look into this problem? Most likely it is a problem that won't be fixed in the latest 3.3.x tree. I recommend trying XFree 4.0.2 from rawhide and seeing if the card works with it. If it does, you'll enjoy 4.0.2 much more than 3.3.6.
You need to upgrade your X server to the XFree86-4.x package, or the XFree86-TGA package that comes with RHL 7.0. If that doesn't work, the latest rawhide packages should.
