It would be better to do a "/sbin/lspci -v | grep VGA" and then a "/sbin/lspci -n". Matching up the output of the PCI bus info for the VGA controller from the first output with latter output will give the exact chipset. However, from a quick Google of the XFree86 site and the information provided below this is not necessary. Also, it's definitely not a savage, which is what I had some extra information on which might have helped. > > Chipset looks to be S3. When I looked at the XF86Config file I don't No. It's Rendition/Micron http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/Status27.html#27 Replace the Driver "vga" with Driver "rendition" in the XF86Config file. > see the Stealth II S220 at all.

Examine it to see if the Driver "rendition" line is put in there. If it isn't then edit it in by hand and try starting the server. I guess the question still remains as to why the installation program didn't pick up this chip properly though. I think you should maybe ask on the redhat-xfree86 list for further help Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and checked for the "rendition" line and it is there. However, when I run startx it starts up but is unusable. Looks like the horizontal sync is out. Had to shutdown the server to recover. I'll go ahead an post this question on the xfree86 list but I'll check back here too for any additional suggestions and report any success.
