upgrade xfree86 in redhat 7.1

[bluesky]

Is it easy to ugrade xfree86 from 3.36 to 4.03? It seems that it requires initscripts 5.20 which is an old version that is not in the list of rpmfind.net.

RH 7.1 also includes XFree86 4.1.0 as an option (and for newer graphics cards actually makes more sense). If you have AGP and/or a 2.4.x-series kernel, then XFree should be your X of choice.

My mistake. I didn't checked carefully. ACtually redhat has xfree86-4.03. Thanks.

It is really easy to upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.1 in Redhat. Basically, you just download the files, run a script, and then run the x config program and your set to go. Except for download times and special considerations, it'll probably take you no more than 10 minutes to upgrade x.

well, it's a little harder than that. I ended up having to reinstall my system after a bad upgrade to 4.1 I think it had to do with those pointers to configuration files.
