I concur with that. Maybe downloading the binaries would be an easier step since the installation procedure is much easier the compiling from source. The install script that is bundled with X is rather simple. Further more it will provide an opportunity to learn not to be dependent on specific package management solution...

Hi There ...

It is bizarre that the Debian distro hung like that. In any event since
you have re-installed RH, you may need to upgrade your X server cuz it
seems like the running version does not support your video card.

You should get the binaries for XFree86 4.2.0  and try it out, or check
www.xfree86.org to see which X server supports your video card.

To configure you can run XFree86 -configure

hmm.. the last thing i'd suggest to someone running into issues installing RH is to go and try and build X from source to replace the vendor offered one ;-)
