In Fedora 7 package CVS, cmake has been updated to 2.4.7 in August already. Is anything important in 2.4.7 compared with 2.4.6? Have you opened a ticket at http://bugzilla.redhat.com already requesting an update? > We finally got his install correct, but found out that the cmake he > needed would install without upgrading to Fedora 8 Test. Often it is possible to install only specific packages from the development repository and keep the rest of the stable dist: yum -y install cmake yum --enablerepo=development update cmake If that doesn't pull in lots of updates from the development repo, it would be fine for your friend's purposes. > That brings me back to my issue.

You could add them yourself, overriding the auto-detection: man xorg.conf Alternatively, boot to run-level 3 and re-run "system-config-display". Perhaps that way you can find out what is wrong. Apply all updates first.
