Here's the information you requested, Alan. There may be some typos, but I think it's pretty close to exactly what I saw. I have a book called "Red Hat Linux 7.2 Unleashed" that had the code that I used to install, and that's my only help source. If you or someone else can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

You may just have a weird PCI ID on that card that happens to not be recognized. it should work with the ati or r128 driver (you can specify either). What does your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and output of "lspci -v" look like? you may have to override the the autodetection of the x server. I believe this is done using the "ChipID" option in your config, but I can't recall; I'm sure someone on the list can tell you. alternately you can download rpms for a newer version of X that supports your card out of the box. One more thing, are you using this card in conjuntion with another video card? Back when I had a PCI r128 based card, it would only work if it was the primary card (although this may have been fixed since), so you may have to make adjustments for that. If you are using it with a AGP card, change the BIOS to initialize PCI first, if you are using it with another PCI card, swap their slots. hope this helps, Alex --- Travis Murphree <travis@bcnconsultants.com> wrote: > Hi. > > > > I'm brand new to Linux.
