First time poster and Linux Newbie. I've installed redhat 8 on a machine that will be used as a file server and developement webserver. I'm having some trouble with the machine freezeing up when I'm using the gnome or kde desktops. The machine was a pain to install in the first place as we bought it on the cheap and just using built in components ie video card. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VKMLS with VIA KM266+VT8233A CE chipset. I originally tried to install RH 7.2 but the Xserver wouldn't work at all with the on board video, and 8 says its a VESA generic card. I haven't been able to find any drivers for it on the net, only winXP/2k/98 drivers. I mean it works now under RH 8 but with the intermitant total lock up which requires a total power off and then disk integrity check. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do yo possibly stop these freeze ups. Oh I've upgraded the kernel using the RH update service thing twice and its current version is 2.4.18-27.8.0 on an i686.
Thanx, Evan Brown
