Few comments about the latest rawhide release (2001-01-03).
- printtool is now gone. You should make printool a symlink to
lprngtool.
- /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o needs an upgrade. It
doesn't work with Matrox G450/dual head/16MB. Accepting the license
agreement at
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/linux_04.cfm
gets you:
ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2001/beta_1_00_04/mga_drv.o
which makes the G450 work. Don't know if that will break older
cards though.
- To run XFree86-4 (as opposed to the XFree86_SVGA which is 3.3.x), I
had to
# rm /etc/X11/X
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X
# chmod +s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
The last step is required or else non-root users can't run XFree86
because they can't create log files in /var/log (mode drwxr-xr-x).
Is there a way to use the Xwrapper mechanism to run XFree86-4
instead of doing the chmod I did?
- Suprised by IDE drivers always being loaded as modules in the newer
kernel RPMs. So youv'e got to mkinitrd && lilo when you upgrade the
kernel RPMs. Your RedHat 7.1 release better say this in bold FBO
users who will be upgrading with rpm -Uvh (instead of anaconda).
Mozilla appears usable now. I've switched.
