X and Sis6326

[Garry.A.Schumacher@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I would like to add a "me too" to the problem reported by Manoj Kumar.  I am using the same Sis6326 AGP display controller with 4 MB of video RAM.  In my case I did a new install of Redhat 8.0.  I used the textual interface to do the install and after I brought up graphical mode the system would run for various lengths of time before the screen froze along with the keyboard and mouse. <ctl> <alt> <f1> and <ctl> <alt> <bs> key combinations had no effect.
 
I also attempted an install using the graphical interface and found that I could not get through the install before the screen would freeze.
 
I decided to do and install of Redhat 7.3 to see if that did any better and found that after I started X and before it was fully active the screen would freeze.  After seeing the note from Manoj I changed all references to depth in the files XF86Config and XF86Config-4 from 16 to 8 while in text mode.  When I started X it came up and appears to function without a problem.  Note that the configuration files for Redhat 8.0 and Redhat 7.3 are different in that there is no XF86Config-4 file on the Redhat 8.0 system.
 
I too would be interested in any suggestions on how to resolve this problem.  Unfortunately I also have now way to provide ftp access to my configuration file or XFree86 log file.
