18.2 The X Window System 275

as Xconfigurator, but it is included for completeness. If these utilities fail to provide a work-

ing XF86Config ﬁle, you may have an unsupported card or you may need to write the conﬁg ﬁle

by hand. Usually the former is the case, so check and make sure your card is supported before at-

tempting to write the conﬁg ﬁle yourselfIf your card is not supported by XFree86 you may wish to

consider using a commercial X server. If you have questions about whether or not your video card is

supported you can check out http://www.xfree86.org for information on XFree86.

The X Server Provided you selected the proper video card at install time, you should have the

proper X server installed. When later running Xconfigurator or xf86config, you need to make

sure you select the same video card or the autoprobe will fail.

If you think you installed the wrong X server for your video card, you will have to install the correct

one before it can be conﬁgured. For instance, if the CD is mounted on /mnt/cdrom, and you need

to install the S3 server, enter the following commands:

cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS

rpm -ivh XFree86-S3-3.1.2-1.i386.rpm

ln -sf ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 /etc/X11/X

This will install the S3 server and make the proper symbolic link.

Xconﬁgurator To conﬁgure the X Window System you must ﬁrst select your video card. Scroll

down the list of supported cards until you locate the card in your machine. Figure 18.1 may help

you determine the video server that matches your hardware. If your card is not listed it may not

be supported by XFree86.In this case you can try the last card entry on the list (Unlisted Card) or a

commercial X Windows server.

The next step is to select your monitor. If your monitor is not listed you can select one of the generic

monitor entries or “Custom” and enter your own parameters. Custom monitor conﬁguration is rec-

ommended only for those who have a sound understanding of the inner workings of CRT displays.

The average user should probably use one of the generic selections from the list. After selecting a

monitor you need to tell Xconﬁgurator how much video memory you have. Move the highlight to

the appropriate list entry and then press

Enter or F12 to continue. For the next step it is recom-

mended that you select the default (No Clockchip Setting) entry, but experienced users may want to

select a speciﬁc clockchip.

Selecting your Server If you are unsure what chipset you have, the best way to ﬁnd out is

usually to look at the card. Figure 18.1 lists which chipsets and boards require which servers. Pick

the one that best matches your hardware.

Finishing Up If later you want to increase your refresh rate for your monitor, you can edit the

conﬁg ﬁle by hand or you can run Xconfigurator again and pick a monitor from our list that more

closely matches the specs of your monitor.
