Never seen the SiS2326, but the SiS6326 was not easy to run under early versions of X I had to get a special driver from SuSE to run the one I had. Later versions of X such as those included with Red Hat 8.0 and later could handle it in the SVGA drivers. > 3) I tried just a basic "Hello world" C prog to test > out gcc and g++ however, when I try to run the a.out, > it won't recognise it as an executable.

Note the . and / before the executable. It tells Linux that the binary is in the current working directory.
