Invites. > http://invites.yahoo.com/ > Hi all: I'm new to this forum and to trying to use -STABLE. I have implemented XFree86-4.0 on OpenBSD-2.7 Beta successfully. I simply overlaid the existing 3.3.6 installation with the new tarballs using XFree's installer. Their config programs fail to work. I have a Linux-Mandrake-7.1 install using their version of XFree86-4.0. Added some modelines to it (Mandrakes XF86Config didn't have any), put it into /etc and executed startx. I've presently lost the config file but will shortly rebuild it. If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to post it. My video card is an ATI Rage Pro, but the config file should be adaptable to any of the supported cards.
