Hello,

I'm hoping to get some answers from people who bought
the cheapest version of Redhat 9 and installed it
from the CDs.

I'm having an awful time with my Redhat Advanced server,
and thinking I might be able to use the rpms from Redhat 9.

1)
Did the GUI install cleanly with no problems? Did it
work with your video card? Or, did you have to
download drivers and install them? Which brand
and model of Video card do you use?

2)
Which kernel is it?

uname -r

3)
Which version of XFree86 got installed?

rpm -qa | grep -i XFree

It will be one of: 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3.

4)

On the CDs, do you have the source rpms
(*.src.rpm) for:

XFree86
kernel

Or, is it strictly the binaries? (*.rpm)

5)
What video driver are you using?
Are you using agpgart?

cat /etc/X11/XF86config-4 | grep -i driver

(I'm assuming that your file is in the same path,
but if not, find it with:

find / -type f -name XF86Config-4
)

lsmod | grep -i agpgart

6) Bonus question. If you have an ATI
Radeon card, please include the file:
/etc/X11/XF86config-4

Thanks a lot for all your help!
