That's weird cause I tried to install RedHat 7.3 and kept crashing to a
blank screen during install.  I have 3 760XD's and it wouldn't work on any
of them.  Any suggestions?

&gt; Distro: Slackware 8.0
 &gt; XFree86: 4.2.0
 &gt;
 &gt; Also: I have installed Slakcware's A* and N* =
Packages and then Downloaded
 &gt; XFree86, then copied from the slackware CD KDE, =
then ran the installer
 again
 &gt; to add KDE (After I setup XFree86 of course =
=3D)
 &gt;
 &gt; To Chuck -&gt; You say you have RH7.2, Did you =
install via GUI? When I tried,
 &gt; mine crashed during the initializing of the =
GUI...
 &gt;
 &gt; To Jim -&gt; you say to use TGUI 9660 - Where =
do I put that at in XF86Config?
 &gt; Under Device as Chipset, Driver, or =
whatnot?
 &gt;
 &gt;
 &gt; &gt;What Distro of Linux and X are you using. I =
loaded RedHat 7.2 and it
 &gt; &gt; &gt;loaded
 &gt; &gt;with out any problems, I have 800x600 on my =
machine. I'm not in Linux
 &gt;now,
 &gt; &gt;but&nbsp; seem to remember that I needed to =
pick 9514 LCD screen for it to
 &gt; &gt; &gt;work.
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt;Chuck
 &gt;
 &gt; &gt;Which version of XFree are you =
using?
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt;If you're trying 3.x, then stick to the =
Cyber 9385; linux-laptop.net &gt;has
 &gt; &gt;two sites listed, one of which has an =
excellent XF86Config file.&nbsp; I &gt;used
 &gt; &gt;that file on my own 760XL (running a =
freakish potato/woody hybrid), and
 &gt; &gt;it works like a dream at 800x600 resolution =
with 16-bit color.&nbsp; (One of
 &gt; &gt;these days I'll get around to completing =
the upgrade to woody.&nbsp; &gt;probably
 &gt; &gt;when woody becomes officially =
stable.)
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt;If you're trying 4.x, the chip is =
identified as a TGUI 9660.&nbsp; Your
 &gt; &gt;resolution is still limited to =
800x600x65536 by the hardware, though.&nbsp; &gt;I
 &gt; &gt;think I have a config file for that around =
somewhere, but I'll have to
 &gt; &gt;check that out after work tonight.
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt;If you aren't sure which version of XFree =
you're using, your distro's
 &gt; &gt;documentation should have it.&nbsp; And if =
it doesn't, someone on here might
 &gt; &gt;be able to identify the version based on =
the distro, but only if you
 &gt; &gt;tell us which distro.&nbsp; ;)
