     I am having trouble with XFree86. According to Windows (which,
admittedly, is unreliable at best) I have an S3_Inc. Savage/IX w/MV. I have
installed RedHat 7.1 in it's own 3gig. partition on my Toshiba Satellite Pro
4300. When I first installed I was able to use the Gnome desktop but the
screen was unsteady (flickering when I would drag boxes etc.). Then it
started booting up in text mode and, not knowing how to fix this, I
reinstalled Linux. Again the desktop worked for a while then stopped. I
found out about an updated driver for my screen so I downloaded it and
replaced the file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/savage_drv.o with the one I
downloaded as per the instructions at
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html#newbie. This made things worse and I
consequently reinstalled Linux. I still was unable to run X and I received a
message (error 2). Then I found out about XFree86 4.1.0 and
downloaded/installed the correct one for my system
(ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.1.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc22/). If
it is pertinent; I used cute FTP in binary mode to download the files. This
still didn't work and I received an error message. I tried copying the
savage_drv.o file that I had downloaded into the appropriate directory but I
got exactly the same error message, which you see below.

Thank you,
