I installed the new versions from the repository. I then tried going to
the system settings >> display. It asked for a password, but did not go
any further.
Running the script from a gnome-terminal gave me this error. I logged
out to X to a terminal, then after startx, tried the display command
mentioned above.
/usr/bin/redhat-config-xfree86
* ddcprobe returned bogus values:

----------------
Xfree seems to be working normally, other than the display. The loading
seems to be good and the clarity is human percieved "better ad crisper"
