I have the following on my systems: whereis system-config-display system-config-display: /usr/bin/system-config-display /usr/share/system-config-display [rmiles@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides system-config-display system-config-display-1.0.29-1 Do you have a similar readout when issuing these commands? If you are missing system-config-display issue: yum install system-config-display. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097
