Re: Trouble installing 4.2 and Sony CDU31A

Hi All. 

I've been having trouble getting X to start.

I recently tried to upgrade Xfree86 (I installed lib 3.3.1,devel 3.3.1 and the appropriate cards (S3 chipset). I also installed the 100dpi and 75dpi fonts. I now have XFree86 giving me nasty messages:( messages included at end of message).

Is there anything missing? have I botched the upgrade (ie do I need to install some other packages as well ?) I'm using RedHat 4.1. The version of XFree86 I have is the 3.2.5 (this is the same one that's at the RedHat download sit, I downloaded it because I assumed that I wouldn't have it if it was the new one, bu it turned out to be the same one). 

Any advice appreciated.
