It is XFree86 v. 4.3, all the rpm's end in i586. Mandrake 9.1 requires at least a Pentuim to run and I am using their install CD's so I assume that it should be good to go. I installed an older Trident video card and X was able to configure, load and run correctly.
Have found that the Diamond Stealth II S220 uses the Rendition chipset, so the software recognizing the card as a Rendition is okay. I don't think I'll fight this one anymore. A weekend on an obsolete video card is enough. Going to re-install the Trident and move on. Although I learned a little about the rpm process and got familiar with bash so it really was a great benefit to me. Been over twenty years since I worked on unix. Very refreshing as I have recently become ABM. Thank you for taking a look at my problem.
