fixing redhat 7.2 to boot. Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) I installed redhat 8.0 on system half. system has rev 4 number nine card. redhat detected ok. but I was using a sgi sw1600 with digital interface. x config does not know monitor. I did not what to wade thru and figure out how to set up Xfree Xserver again. So on reboot system go to whatever freq and sw1600 cannot display. I could just connect a good analog monitor to boot once and fix boot to character mode. But I decided to try rescue. So I booted with rescue and root partition is mounted as /mnt/????? I edited /etc/inittab and changed line id:3:initdefault: use run level 3 and not level 5 which starts X as deamon. I then installed or replaced Xfree X with xig 6.0 Set up sw1600 OK must remember to do install and Xsetup with -text flag. ran gnome manager. a lot of nice stuff but doggy as hell I added fvwm 1.24r rpm to window list and got it to come up once under gnome. but after I quit I could not get gnome to come up with any kind of window manager. I edited /etc/X11/xinit added exec fvwm.orig orig is just fvwm that's moved to fvwm.orig add it after ther merge stuff. Systme now boots ok with boot floppy and fvwm comes up normal. tom watson tosiwmee
