I wasn't aware that a TNT2 was a ten year old card.  I still have,
what, 50 of these in production, and no version of Red Hat can
properly detect the 16MB of RAM the cards have.  If left to
autodetection, X will crash the machine hard.  (Even the installer
crashes unless I provide the --videoram option to xconfig in my
kickstart file.)
