I have loaded <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</A> Linux 7.0 on my new Dell computer,
(4MB Integrated AGP Video Card,i810 chips set) however, X windows
will not start. I tried loading Xfree's 3.3.6 instead of higher
level of X present in the Red Hat release. Now I get an error
that says &quot;_X11TransSocketUNIXConnext&quot; failure.

The Evil TransSocket Error
<IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/smily.gif" ALT=":)"
height="24" width="20" align="middle"> simply means that your X server can't connect
to your video hardware. Usually, it means that you've chosen the wrong
server. I'm not even going to speculate on the problems that you may have
created by installing XFree 3.3.6 over a 4.0 installation (at least that's
how I'm reading it), but I'm certainly not brave enough to try something
like that.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Also, if I remember correctly, there was either no or minimal support for
the i810 in 3.3.6, but there was in 4.0. You may want to reinstall, this
time with 4.0, and see what happens.

I have a Dell Optiplex 110 running RedHat 7.0. It has the Intel 810
chipset and required this driver:
<A HREF="http://appsr.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=39&strTypes=DRV%2CUTL&ProductID=178&OSFullName=Linux*&submit=Go%21"

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
I hope this link works for you, if not, it is the first selection if you
do a google search on "intel 810 and linux." The driver works with
XFree 3.3.6 and up.
