I've had a quick browse of the above link, and I downloaded the MD5SUM
and the src package. A couple of questions: (I'm running *only* Severn on
my machine). Can I go ahead and install this on my system, _AND_ do
I need to re-edit my XConfig file (as previously, removing DRI, and changing
"nv" to 'nvidia", switch to init 3, etc.  or will the install do the  
necessary)?

Second question: how do I install the src package: 
rpmrebuild -rebuild package, then rpm-ivh package? (sorry, I confess 
I'm being a bit lazy ... or maybe it's Sunday morning... so go ahead and 
rap my knuckles! <G>).

TIA,

Elton ;-)
