Hi...
A first test to do, when the x-system has started, even if the
monitor does not work, is to press: CTL-ALT-Minus (ctl alt -)
and ctl alt + to change the resolution. This way you can normally
select several resolutions, and maybe one of the these works
for you. If you find one, identify it and remove the higher
resolutions from the XF86Config file, or move the working
resolution to the start.
Anyway, if you want to upgrade you'll need at least the following
files:
1. Xinstall.sh The installer script
2. extract The utility for extracting tarballs
3. Xbin.tgz X clients/utilities and run-time libraries
4. Xlib.tgz Some data files required at run-time
5. Xman.tgz Manual pages
6. Xdoc.tgz XFree86 documentation
7. Xfnts.tgz Base set of fonts
8. Xfenc.tgz Base set of font encoding data
9. Xetc.tgz Run-time configuration files
10. Xvar.tgz Run-time data
11. Xxserv.tgz XFree86 X server
12. Xmod.tgz XFree86 X server modules
which you can download from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc22
Read the install file, which has the instructions. If you have
redhat, you might want to download the rpms - I can't help you there.
