ALOHA,
I've got a slight problem with the package manager in my installation of Redhat 6.2. I am unable to install newer packages as every new package I try to open causes the manager to report that it does not support packages with major numbers >3 and hence the installation will not proceed. I checked out the Redhat site and thier section on patches for 6.2 but nothing appears to be working.
1.) What(if any) patches should I download to rectify the situation ?
Also the XF86_SVGA server on my system appears to have grossly miscalculated the screen area and it now presents me with a cursor approximately
* *
* *
* *
* *
* *
**

this big, on the screen. The text is also proportionately blown up.
The vga16 server however runs perfectly and I have been running the GUI on that.
The problem recurs when I run another server binary obtained from a CD (other than the one i installed with)
2.What configuration files should I change to reset the monitor size ?
I have an Intel 810e motherboard and a Samtron monitor.The video card on the motherboard was shipped from the factory as a standard accessory and I have not changed it since I bought it.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you
P.S : My heart felt condolences to all those affected by the tragedy in America
