Just got redhat 7.2 today, install, kyro won't install. Thats fine, its not meant to. I download drivers (athlon), right kernel etc. Install blah blah blah.
Heres the hard bit...
Setting up X (XF86Config)
heres a clippit from the README.txt file (for installing the kyro)
-----------------------
Red Hat & Mandrake
------------------
Red Hat and Mandrake (unlike SuSE) do not provide tools to easily
automate XF86 configuration, as the standard tools provided only
recognize devices of which XF86 itself is aware of, and Kyro is not
among these.
If your configuration is simple, i.e. standard type of mouse,
keyboard and only one graphics card it is recommended, unless you
are expert at XF86 configuration, that you base your config file on
the supplied sample and modify as per the following guidelines.
1) First you must determine the busID of your Kyro card, this is
done by the command:
Red Hat:
/sbin/lspci | grep VGA | grep SGS
Mandrake:
/usr/bin/lspci | grep VGA | grep SGS
This should result in an output of the form:
XX:YY.Z VGA compatible controller: SGS Thomson Microelectronics:
Unknown device 0010 (rev BB)
where
XX:YY.Z is the bus ID of the device
BB is the type of Kyro 01 = KyroI, 07 = KyroII
2) Now copy the sample XF86 config file
(/etc/X11/XF86KyroSampleConfig) to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. If
there is an existing XF86Config-4 file rename to something safe
first.
3) Edit the XF86 config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4) to modify the line:
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
to be
BusID "PCI:XX:YY:Z"
Notice that XX, YY are returned as hex while XF86Config-4 must
have decimal values.
4) Again in the XF86 config file uncomment the mouse appropriate
section for your mouse, either PS/2 intellimouse or 2 button
PS/2 mouse. The country code of your keyboard can also be
edited at this time, it is immediately above the mouse sections.
5) Uncomment the appropriate font server section (located at the
top of the file immediately after the serverlayout section).
6) Check that there is a symlink from /etc/X11/X to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (there may already be a symlink from
/etc/X11/X, this should be removed) i.e
if [ -e /etc/X11/X ]; then rm -f /etc/X11/X; fi;
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X
Note: On some systems the link to X may be somewhere else, to
/usr/X11R6/bin/X for instance, but otherwise the procedure is
the same. The path variable for the X startup process should be
examined to see where the link to X may be.
7) Run startx
-------------
Ok, did all that, but heres the bit I don't understand how to do...
6) Check that there is a symlink from /etc/X11/X to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (there may already be a symlink from
/etc/X11/X, this should be removed) i.e
if [ -e /etc/X11/X ]; then rm -f /etc/X11/X; fi;
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X
how the hell do I do that???
X won't work btw.
