How? And if you have RH 5.2 to get the bootdisk image from,
why not install that instead of RH 5.0? Your hardware sounds newer than
RH 5.0. Never mind. But I am curious :-)

Yes, I think so. AGP is (I think) a whole new bus architechture, and a
PCI driver wouldn't necessarily know how to work it.
I've never done a RedHat install, and it makes more sense to me to get
the system working in text mode first, and then experiment as necessary
with the graphics. Does it offer you a chance to postpone the video
config? If not, does it offer you VGA16 as a choice? VGA16 is not
pretty, and it's not fast, but I don't know of any card it won't work
with except the old CGA 8 bit card. SVGA, if offered, would probably
work, and be a little prettier. ICBW, of course, but in case this might
help, I will send it.
