There is no Xconfigurator or similar program and therefore it is very difficult to configure a graphics card when the Xserver does not come up. Please include Xconfigurator in the final release. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Type Xf86config 2. 3. Actual Results: The system says there is no such program Expected Results: I should have been able to configure my graphics card easily while the Xserver was not (and could not) run. Additional info:
redhat-config-xfree86
Xconfigurator is included with Red Hat Linux 7.3, but it is no longer included in the current beta release of Red Hat Linux, and will not be included in any future releases of Red Hat Linux. The RELEASE-NOTES file included with the beta release documents this, and also describes the Xconfigurator replacement program which is "redhat-config-xfree86". When reporting bugs against beta releases, choose "Red Hat Public Beta" as the distribution instead of Red Hat Linux, and you'll then see the names of the beta releases listed with which to file bug reports against. "limbo" and "null" are the names of the beta releases. Please report any feature requests and bug reports against the redhat-config-xfree86 package, and be sure to report one bug or feature request per report. Thanks.
