From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0 Description of problem: This happened to a customer who was installing RHL 7.3 on his desktop system with an old graphics card ELSA Winner S3 T2D Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHL 7.3 on a system with an old graphics card 2.Do X configuration with graphical screen on bootup 3.Reboot system Actual Results: X won't come up. The reason is that the X configurator seems to have detected that an XFree86-3.3.6 server is required for the old card, but somehow failed to make the /etc/X11/X symlink point at the chosen server; it still points at ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 which is the XFree86-4.2.0 server and which obviously doesn't support the card. Expected Results: /etc/X11/X should point at ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 in this case. Additional info:
Second that. Additionally, when a wheel mouse has been selected during installation, IMPS/2 is in the config file, but other needed settings Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 4 5 are not present. Not that it matters too much as XF3 is going away, but it might yet bite someone.
The last time I tested this code, it was doing the right thing for XFree 3 as long as the Cards database was correct. Since we don't use XFree 3 anymore, it's not a problem in our current codebase
