Morning... I have a package that I think wants to compile against the X11 source tree. http://openchrome.org - its a snapshot from there.... Anyway the command it tells me to run is: xmkmf /usr/src/xc make make install This is to build a updated X graphics driver... However when I do this I get errors as there is not /usr/src/xc (no surprise) I did then "up2date xorg-x11-sdk" however now I dont know where the "xc" directory might be. Have I not done the right steps yet? Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What you want is not in centos, and you'd probably be best off rebuilding from their src.rpms With all the system mods you seem to be doing, it feels like you're trying to shoehorn a server distro into very modern/unsupported hardware? Are you sure you've picked the right distro for the job, or are you simply trying to locate a larger hammer with which to pound in screws? -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center

My other monitor problem was the driver freezing up. New card will take care of that. Thanks, Jerry
