From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: When trying to start X on a Toshiba 660CDT, I get a "Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting" error in my XFree86.log. XFree4.0.3 worked perfectly in Redhat 7.1, and the installer gui displayed fine while doing either a clean install of 7.2 or an upgrade. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install of Redhat 7.2 2. after installation, change the symbolic link of X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 3. startx and crash Additional info: Worked fine with Redhat 7.1. I even did a clean install of 7.1, following the above steps, and X ran correctly. Then did an upgrade to 7.2, changed the sym link, and no joy. Also tried a fresh install of 7.2 with same results

You are not using the Red Hat supplied XFree86. Red Hat does not support bugs in user built packages.
I rebuilt the XFree4.0 source RPM as an attempt to make X work. I get the same result with the supplied Redhat RPMS, which I described in my bug report. It fails every time with a fresh install, straight from the 7.2 cd, as well as when I do a fresh install of 7.1, where X does work, and then do an upgrade with 7.2. If you want me to do another fresh install and send you my XFree86.log file to prove what I am saying I can do that also.
