Probably not supported in v4.x. Try using the legacy 3.3.6 driver
for that card... IIRC I've had X running on that laptop in the past.

Hmm, weird. Looks like a redhat distribution - but with an old
kernel? You say (in your previous message) that this is a redhat
"7.x" box, yet you are running an old 2.2 kernel? (Did you move
from redhat 6.2 to 7.x with the "upgrade" option? If you did, this
is one of the reasons why this might have occurred). You really
should correct this problem. rh7.x runs with either 2.2.16 (latest
update is 2.2.19) or a 2.4.x kernel. It could be the cause of your
sigfaults.
With rh7.x the 3.3.6 drivers should be available with the
distribution. Xconfigurator has switches to configure your system
to use either the xfree86 v3 or v4 drivers.
Cheers
