I posted a message here about a week or so ago about my new video card
(thanks to all who replied).  I was having some problems getting X to
run.  I received a couple of responses stating to "return the card,
AGP usually doesn't work well with Linux..." and also stating that the
last message was untrue.  I decided to let the folks at RedHat give me
some of that Installation help they promise to customers, and it
worked!  The response basically stated that my video cards (ATI
Charger AGP) chipset (Rage IIc) was not supported in the version of
XFree86 that ships with RHL5.2 but that there was a newer version
(3.3.3) and I should try it.  It went through the steps on how to find
out what RPM's I needed and how to upgrade them. After upgrading and
configuring, X is running perfectly.  

The moral of the story is that I'm glad I spent the time to find out
how to make the card work.  It saved me time, money, my sanity, and
helped me understand better how XFree86 and Linux work.

Kudos to the Installation Support Tech's at RedHat and to all of the
people who helped me with my problem.
