Margaret,
You need to install the ATI Proprietary Linux x86_64 Display Driver for
XFree86 / X.Org ( currently Version 8.27.10) from ATIThe driver that
comes with the RHEL 4 does not recognise the chipset for an ATI X600.
You will need to install as root and tie the driver to the kernel but
chmod ing the .run file and running it will take care everything for
you. When the driver is installed do an:
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
to finish off the configuration. Assuming that you left your xorg.conf
file in a consistent state (it will back it up) and it should get you up
and running.
I had it working on an "Update 3" installation media though. Haven't
tried with Update 2, but it should work.

I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 with a DELL 1707FP monitor. The system is
connected through the dvi connector. Graphics for installation using
"linux textnofb" works. The registration graphics to RedHat through
up2date works fine. The analog connection to a Mac has no problems.
xorg.conf recognizes the monitor as a DELL 1707FP with an "ATI Radeon
X600" board.
When I run "startx", text comes across the screen rapidly, but then the
screen goes black.
When I press on the monitor status button, the screen says it is in the
energy power saving mode and to press a key or move a mouse to wake it
up. Pressing a key or moving the attached mouse does nothing.
I have turned off apmd for all initialization levels.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has warnings about the TTF and CID fonts missing and
(WW) Open APM failed (dev/apm_bios) (Nosuch file or directory)
I found this on another RedHat system of mine. The file belongs to
dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm
When I try to install
rpm -ivh dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm
Cannot install the dev package: mounted devfs detected.
Any suggestions.
