Redhat 7.3 and ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card

it should work.  you might want to check the xpert ML archive at
xfree86.org.  try setting "crt_screen" to "false" or I think there may
even be an option for "dfp" "true" or something like that.

the output of lspci has nothing to do with what adapters X supports. 
lspci just lists all PCI devices.  As far as I know, it uses a separate
database of PCI ID's than X uses.
