RH 7.2 X Problem

[BliZzX]

When I try to startx I get this:

Couldnt open RGB_DB ' usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
(WW)Warning, couldnt open module bitmap
(EE)Failed to load module "bitmap"(module does not exist,0)
(WW)Warning, couldnt open module pcidata
(EE)Failed to load module "pcidata"

Fatal Server Error:
Unable to load required base modules, Exiting


I have went to modules/ and build is flashing in red. My video card and monitor is supported by this version.(Voodoo5 and NEC MultiSync 90) Any ideas? :confused:

I've read posts by users who get these errors due to video driver version vs. XFree86 version (and possibly kernel version?) conflicts. Please post more specific information regarding your setup:

- Type of CPU/motherboard
- Type of video card or onboard vid chipset
- Distribution and version of Linux
- Version of kernel
- Version of XFree86
- Video driver(s) and version(s)

The flashing red indicates a broken symlink (i.e.: the link's target file can't be found). Do ls -l name_of_flashing_fileto determine the target file. You can then check to make sure the target exists in the location the symlink points to.

Important point: If you view certain symlinks while logged in as a normal user (as opposed to root), they will indicate that they are broken (flash red) when in truth they aren't. What is happening in that case is the fact that, if you don't have permission to access the target file or its directory, the link will report itself as broken.
