I am trying to install Linux terminal server on RH 7.2 distro, everything goes fine until the LTS tried to configure X server through its XF86Config (client side). The error message I received was : "...have to specify 'SCREEN' in config.." then it went back to BASH prompt. Any suggestion on what goes wrong?

Your X configuration must specify at least one "Screen". It should look something like this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "ATI Rage Mobility"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubsection
EndSection

Of course, these exact settings will not work for you...yours will differ. To properly configure X on your RedHat system, run the "Xconfigurator" program.

Yes, you are quite right, and later on i found out that my old cheap Videocards is not fully supported by the lts version of XF86, thank you for your answer.
