Ok try sending me your current XF86Config file. Also try starting it as
root and a normal user. Send me any error messages you get from root,
and if there are different error messages under the normal user send
that too. Try both startx and xinit. I gather you are currently using
XF86 4.2 on redhat 7.{2,3}. I am currently running that same card under
Debian GNU/Linux with XF86 4.1. So as a result my advice will be
directed towards Debian, but it should be pretty much universal. Ill
try and get the XF86Config-4 file from that box sometime tonight. But
if you send me all that stuff, I should be able to help.
ps I am ccing this to you cause Im not subscribed to the list with this
address and there fore cannot post to the list in a timely fashion. I
would say send the requested info off list cause it will be alot of
info.
Peace
