What is the current card?
Still which card?
The the screen goes black and the machine locks up. What does one do then?
redhat-config-xfree86 -v --noui --reconfig
If that XF86Config file doesn't work, post it, lspci output, and monitor info, and I'll help you get the correct --set-<blah> options.
Also file in bugzilla against redhat-config-xfree86 so it can get fixed.
Evidently the problem is Nvidia drivers can't be probed. In our case upgrading the Nvidia drivers made it work, I don't know if this is officially a bug.
Were you trying to use rh-cfg-cf with the NVIDIA drivers?
That'd be a bug, but with NVIDIA, not Red Hat.
The supplied XF86 driver, nv, should be used by the config tool. I doubt Red Hat will support configuring 3rd party drivers any time soon.
If the card is supposed to work with the nv driver, and rh-cfg-f doesn't set it up that's a bug for Red Hat.
