Hello,
I have a bunch of questions about the difference between the XFree86
server and XF86_SVGA server. But, I'll start with just one: Does the
XF86_SVGA server use the drivers in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ ?
On one of my boxes, with a ATI Rage 128, it does not even appear that
RH 7.3 and XF86 4.2.0 even provided an XF86_SVGA server instead using
XFree86. Another box, with a Trident Cyberblade i1, wants to use the
XF86_SVGA driver by default. On this trident box, am I even using the
trident driver? Can I change the server that I use simply by changing
the softlink /etc/X11/X to point to either the XF86_SVGA or XFree86 server?
Thanks,
Scott
