You assume all risks in using this X server on untested video cards; however, if you successfully run this server on a video card not listed here, we would like to hear from you. Please e-mail your video card make and model to us at "xbf_support@redhat.com". Red Hat and Precision Insight, Inc. disclaim all warranties with regard to this X server. In no event shall Red Hat or Precision Insight, Inc. be liable for any damages whatsoever resulting from the use of this X server. This commercial quality X Server has been tested with only the Real3D Starfighter AGP and the Diamond Stealth II/G460 AGP card at this time. This Free server is distributed in binary form only to conform with the Non Disclosure Agreement required by Intel. If and when this non disclosure requirement is removed by Intel, all of the source code for this driver will be contributed to the XFree86 project. Download and Installation Instructions Although you can place the downloaded .rpm file in any directory of your choosing, we suggest you ftp the file into the /tmp directory and then execute the appropriate RPM command from that directory to install the .rpm file. When the RPM command runs, it will automatically place the component files of the X Server into the correct locations in your system. Red Hat 5.x (glibc) systems:- 1) get the file to your system cd /tmp ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/XBF-i740-glibc-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm 2) install the files using RPM rpm -ivh XBF-i740-glibc-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm 3) after installing, run (as root): ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XBF_i740 /etc/X11/X Red Hat 4.x (libc5 systems):- 1) get the file to your system cd /tmp ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/XBF-i740-libc5-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm 2) install the files using RPM rpm -ivh XBF-i740-libc5-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm 3) after installing, run (as root): ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XBF_i740 /etc/X11/X chmod 4711 /usr/X11R6/bin/XBF_i740 IMPORTANT NOTE: After installing the X server, an XF86Config file needs to be set up for your computer. For Red Hat 4.x and 5.x systems, this file is in "/etc/X11/XF86Config". See the manual page for XF86Config for more information on how to properly setup this file for your computer. For a description of the supported device configuration options, see the README file included in this release. To ease the setting up of the XF86Config file, a new "xf86config" program that has support for the XBF_i740 X server can be found in the same directory as the X server. To use this program: Red Hat 5.x (glibc) systems:- 1) get the file to your system cd /tmp ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/xf86config-glibc-1.0.0.i386.tgz 2) install the files (as root): cd / tar xvzf /tmp/xf86config-glibc-1.0.0.i386.tgz 3) run "xf86config" as root Red Hat 4.x (libc5 systems):- 1) get the file to your system cd /tmp ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/xf86config-libc5-1.0.0.i386.tgz 2) install the files (as root): cd / tar xvzf /tmp/xf86config-libc5-1.0.0.i386.tgz 3) run "xf86config" as root Here are some hints as to how to use xf86config: 1) While running xf86config, you will need to answer several questions about your mouse, monitor and video card. This information should be found in the manuals that came with your system. 2) When you reach the section to choose a particular video card, xf86config will ask you: Do you want to look at the card database? Answer, "yes" and choose the number of the video card that most closely matches your system. The cards that have been tested or have been reported to work (see above) are included in this list. 3) Next, xf86config will ask you: Which one of these screen types do you intend to run by default (1-5)? Answer, "5" since that is the one that corresponds to the card definition you just choose (from hint #2, above). 4) Since you have already set the symbolic link (above), you do not want xf86config to set it again, so answer "no" to this question. 5) No special RAMDAC is needed with the XBF_i740 X server, so when xf86config asks you to choose a RAMDAC, you can enter "q" to safely quit without selecting a RAMDAC. 6) No special Clockchip setting is required with the XBF_i740 X server, so you can simply press Enter, when xf86config asks you what Clockchip setting you want. 7) It is not necessary to probe the clocks with the XBF_i740 X server, so you do not need to have xf86config run 'X -probeonly'. 8) For RedHat 4.x and RedHat 5.x systems, the XF86Config file should be written to /etc/X11/XF86Config. For other systems, it should be written to /etc/XF86Config.
