Experience with Mandrake 7.1, 8.2, and 9 suggests that X4.2 has serious problems with the lib 50/70. As far as I can tell, the latest version of X4.2.1(?) does actually work on the lib but it's detection stuff doesn't work, so it sulks on the configuration stage. I think this is to do with the lib running the video chip on the vesa bus, and X4 looks on the PCI and AGP busses. Not that there's enough memory on the lib to do an install past M7.1 anyway... I have an idea that Redhat 7 is roundabout equivalent to Mandrake 8 - in which case it will come with KDE2 or 3, both of which are serious resource hogs on the lib. The best solution I came up with was M7.1 with kde1.3 apps, using icewm as the window manager. Having said that, the 3.3.6 drivers work a treat...I'll fire up the lib and post something.
