Xautoconfig how to install?

[Soetji & Julie]

On my iBook G3 500mhz (white), during installation or after reboot, the graphics
doesn't come out properly. It is mostly black. While starting up anaconda says:
probing for monitor type: unknown monitor

I would like to try Xautoconfig. My iBook is not on a network. I can burn the rpm on a CD.
Can anyone tell me how I can install that on my iBook? I am new to linux.

Thanks,
Soetji

rpm -ivh foo.rpm

I don't think it has any depends. later when you get on to pmud, keep in
mind, it depends on tk

Thanks, but I am sure how to access the file on the CDROM from the command line. There is
no /dev/cdrom and nothing in /media/cdrecorder/.

Err, really? What version of fedora did you use? Have you upgraded udev?

Maybe some manual mkdev bits need to happen (though that sounds weird,
as udev should really work)

I am using FC3T2. It was working a few days ago. I could see the content of CDs in
/media/cdrecorder. But then I had to repartition my HD and reinstall FC3T2. Now I
can't see anything under /media/cdrecorder.

The same with USB Flash Drives. It was working before. Now when I insert a USB Flash
Drive, I get the following at the command prompt #:
Vendor: Model: USB DISK 2.0 Rev:1.13
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Then /media/UDISK_2_0 appears. But the content is empty. Before I could see the content of
the Flash Drive.

I haven't upgraded anything since I installed from the Fedora CDs.

Thanks,
Soetji

Well, turns out that I have to manually mount them. I did:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/UDISK_2_0

and then I could see and access the content of my USB Flash Drive. I am pretty sure that I
didn't have to do that before.
