Hi John

I'm currently playing around with RH7.2 - Note, this is a beta release, and
boy, is there some bugs in there....

Struggling to get XFree86-4 up and running, I found virtually all my graphics
cards would not work. S3, Mach64, and a Cirrus chipset all failed to work. The
ATI Rage card in an AGP slot runs a treat. Another card I tried was an SiS
6356, a total lockup, with only the reset button working.

If anyone else is thinking of migrating to RH7.2, my advise would be, don't,
unless you want to be on the bleeding edge of EMC development.


Regards, Paul.
