[svlug] Red Hat 7.3 problem(s)

[Karl F. Larsen]

	I loaded the new Red Hat and was pleased to see that software 
loaded that *might* work with my digital camera and another that's 
supposed to work with my palm pilot.

	But, after telling it to give me a 1024X768 X window it 
up-chucked and gave me an unstable 800X600 on my nice new 17 inch active 
matrix flat screen monitor! Odd, since Red Hat 7.2 on the same machine 
works just fine.

	At first thought Xconfigurator was bad, but looked at the 
Xserver log file from /var/log/ and saw that the module for my video 
card was not loading. It's a module called tdfxfb.o and I was surprised 
to see it was present on version 7.3 but not working.

	I tried #modprobe tdfx and got "module not found". Tried it on 
this 7.2 and it worked fine.

	If your using a voodoo video card don't try Red Hat 7.3 cause it 
will not work.
