4. Installing on Alpha and SPARC

4.1 Alpha

To upgrade your X server, the package you need is dependent on which video card you have. Get the server which matches your card.

Upgrade your X libraries and base install

           rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/alpha/XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-1.1.alpha.rpm
           rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/alpha/XFree86-3.3.3.1-1.1.alpha.rpm

            

Optionally, upgrade the additional X packages, such as fonts, devel, etc.

4.2 SPARC

Upgrade your X server. The package you need is dependent on which frame buffer your SPARC has. Get the server which matches your card.

Upgrade your X libraries and base install:

                       
           rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/sparc/XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-1.1.sparc.rpm
           rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/sparc/XFree86-3.3.3.1-1.1.sparc.rpm
            

Optionally, upgrade the additional X packages, such as fonts, devel, etc.

If a link named /etc/X11/X does not exist, pointing at the proper X server that you use (for instance, /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun), create it now.

              cd /etc/X11
              ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun ./X
