Installing video card drivers
May 23, 2003 04:43 PM
I have an old box that I just installed Linux on (red hat). The distribution didnt have my driver, so I downloaded it (took like 2 hours to find) and I have it in RPM format. I did rpm -i on it...but I dont know what else to do to set it as my display driver. Anyone know?

Edit your XF86Config so that it uses the driver.

Well...I only know how to use Xconfigurator, I dont know how to manually edit the file, or how to find the names to put in. Can you help me with the details of that? I do know how to use xedit, emacs, etc, but I dont know what to change. thanks
