Re: Screen cont. (from the "Peanut Gallery")

Just to add something my card and the notebook components are recognized
correctly under RH 6.1 during  installation , the catch is that it doesn't
install the correct modules or whatever it is.....
And now think if I have so much trouble with components that are supported
what will hapend to the unsupported ones?
Anyway I figured out that since RH6.0 and CorelLinux work fine perhaps I
should find what xfree86 they used and try to set it up for RH6.1 , any
ideas on how i can do that???
Regards Tassos
