15 bit color allowed in Redhat 8.0 and see if this helps.

The above is what I am using now, but not because of stability, but to try and squeeze as
much performance out of my ATI Rage card.

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.
