Ok, an answer to both of your questions: To Joe: XFree86 4.0.1 does not support the GeForce2 series of cards (just the GeForce) if I remember correctly. Try RedHat 7.1 or another distro that comes with XFree86 4.0.3 or later, or manually upgrade X to 4.1.0
To Glen: The trick to making that card work is this: In the device section for it (in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4), add a line that says 'Option "ChipID" "goodchipID"' where goodchipID is the ChipID of any other Rage 128 chip (I used to remember which ones worked, but I haven't messed with this card in a while, and I'm not at my box. If anyone remembers a working ChipID, please post) -----Original Message----- From: glen lepeska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 6:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NEWBIE]Why??? Hey Joe, Sounds like the same error I get when I installed RH 7.1 with a ATI Xpert 128 Pro PCI card. It seems the version of X (4.0.3) DOES NOT support it. I even tried X 4.1.0 and still no luck. I then installed Mandrake 8.0 Powerpack and it wouldn't run X either.
