[Newbie]Some very basic How-to needed

[Mark R. Muto]

Hello all, After years of goofing around with leftover PCs and Frankenstien combinations of older hardware, I decided to give RedHat Linux 8.0 a new PC of its own. I purchased a brand new 1.8ghz Pentium 4 PC from Dell (whitebox equivalent of Optiplex GX260). The system has an Intel D845GBV motherboard with 512MB RAM, 40GB IDE hard drive, integrated audio, video & nic. I installed RedHat 8 and the video won't work properly. I can't seem to figure out where to get the drivers (Redhat?,Nope. Intel?, Nope. Dell?, Forget it...) or even how to adjust the video so that it displays properly. I'd hate to run it down at basic 640x480 VGA, but I can't get the GUI to work well enough to change to that either. The 845 chipset was correctly ID'd by the GUI installer, so I don't know what the problem is. It's always been too much work to get Linux running, but I've always felt that I've not given it a fair shake. Now I've got a system that would run any version of Windows superbly. I've made the effort and the investment, and I'm getting pissed off. Please help me if you can. Mark Muto   Mark R. Muto PACE Systems, Inc. (978) 352-8949
