I don't know if it's me, but I just trashed my Red Hat 5.2 distribution
and will be going with Slackware. It's pissing me off.
As for the Mach64, I have the same one and Red Hat went through
a ton of problems before it decided it liked it.
Can't really suggest a solution. I told it to use the basic video card
settings, then changed them back to Mach 64 when installing X-
Windows.
Of course X-Windows doesn't seem to support high-res Mach64
server modes!
Red Hat's support suggestion was to download the latest X-
Windows release!
Geez.
