REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S # USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS. HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0 # HorizSync 30-64 # multisync # HorizSync 31.5, 35.2 # multiple fixed sync frequencies # HorizSync 15-25, 30-50 # multiple ranges of sync frequencies # VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified. # VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a # comma separated list of ranges of values. # NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S # USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS. VertRefresh 40-90 option "dpms" EndSection And for msn, try: http://amsn.sf.net or for a Trillian-like app: http://gaim.sf.net :-)	Chilling_Silently (228)

See if you can get a regular rpm. Either that or go into: /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES and type: tar xvzf filename.tar.gz cd NEWdirTHATitMADE ./configure make make install That should compile the application from source code, but see if you can find a real RPM first and install that.
