When you say Linux 5.2, I assume you mean RedHat 5.2. If this is the case, you should not need to download any files from the XFree86 site, but instead use the RPM files provided on your RH CD. After the files are installed, configuring them is another story. But my understanding of the RedHat install is that you are walked thru this when you first install the system... Anyone using RH5.2 want to comment?

cowabunga dude. You shore enuff shud haf that xfree aity six on yoh vuzhun of that red top five.too. search with the following sin tax. find / -name XF86Config* -print you should see a powerful lot of XF stuff go stormin by. cd to that there directry with the file in it XF86Config.eg and go xf86Config and see whut happens. if you run into troubles pray a lot. If you exceed the maximum khz bandwidth of your monitor's horizontal frequency you should see flames shoot out the back of your monitor. Good luck. If you decide to read the manual make sure you are sitting down. there are three files you should read. Videomodes, Monitors.doc and the one on your particular card. It should all be in the DOCS directory of X11. EC<:-}
