Yes It is the CL5446 with TV(Pixel View).On my earlier system P60 32MB RAM
I was using RH5.2 without a problem.I was using KDE.
Now I have a PII350 , ZX motherboard with 64MB SDRAM.I am unable to use
even RH5.2 on this system in GUI mode.The card is the same Pixel View Combo
plus with CL5446 chip.At installation the card is correctly recognized as
CL5446.

I tried startx >/tmp/xerrors 2>&1 I get to the first screen of GNOME
which is distaughted with a button bar sayin 94% and another bar saying
scanning /root/enlightement/backgrounds, the mouse pointer is an "X" and at
that point my system hangs.I am unable to do anything but reboot.Nothing
else works!!

As I said above nothing but reboot works

I get the GNOME screen with everything black but part of the picture of
GNOME and with the details I have given above.
