Thanks, I'll look at that.

as far as I could tell, Xconfigurator != redhat-config-xfree86.  I did a 
full install of RH9 on a machine with a pretty crappy graphics card. 
When I rebooted, the video was all screwed up.  I tried running the 
r*-c*-x*86, from the cmd line, but it started up in the same graphics 
mode that wasn't working.  I mean, I fixed the problem by editing the 
config file, but I'd rather not do that.  I'm lazy.

I run lfs on a different machine.  It's cool.  But some software and 
hardware we use isn't supported for anything but RH.

Thanks,
