I just installed Redhat 5.1 on my Dell box for the first time today. I tried
running startx and my screen goes blank and I see nothing. I have to reboot
the computer at that point. My setup is:

Dell Dimension XP300 PII 300 Mhz
Dell 17" Monitor
STB 128 Velocity Card with 4 mb
128 Megs Ram
8 GB Maxtor Drive

I have gone into Xconfigurator and set the Monitor as Generic, Video Card as
STB Velocity 128 (riva128), memory to 4mb and resolution to 8 bit 640x480 I
have tried other resolutions but thought I should start at the lowest to get
it going. 

Any suggestions appreciated!
