OK, maybe it wasn't just me, so I will now admit that never really got this to work at 
all using Red Hat 7.2 either.  It wasn't until I threw in the towel and installed 
Mandrake 8.1 over the top of my Red Hat 7.2 install that things started working.  To 
give Red Hat some credit, in retrospect I think I may have also chosen the wrong mouse 
driver, because my log seemed to be fairly normal until the mouse was loaded, and 
still died the same way even after changing from "accel" to "noaccel".

Daniel, in your log it almost looks like there might be a problem interfacing with 
your monitor - not sure.

In my case, I wimped out and installed Mandrake because it has a slightly more 
advanced install procedure with seemingly better hardware detection.  Of course, I got 
brave/stupid and decided to go all the way during the Mandrake install by choosing to 
enable hardware accelleration - only to find myself back in the same boat with no 
video at all.  The nice thing was that this time when I set the "accel" to "noaccel", 
it worked.  It's not real fast, but having something was better than nothing.

p.s.  Speaking of being a newbie, how the heck do you actually reply to a post without 
creating a whole new thread in here?  Thanks.
