I have successfully set up linux as a server (web, ftp, etc) and am now trying to leave windows and set up linux on my desktop. I downloaded and installed redhat 7.3 on my presario 5070. Everything went fine except for a few distorted lines that hover under my cursor and dri fails. I'm trying to tackle the dri issue first. I've included part of my xfree86 log. One suspicious thing happened during installation. My video chip was identified as an SiS 620, but I thought it was an SiS 530. Anyway, I've installed it both ways and it made no difference. I boot to a text login and then type "startx". Below is the section in my Xfree86 log that shows the error I'm getting. drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "sis" (II) SIS(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) SIS(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. There are no other errors present during startup. I looked in /dev/dri/ and I saw card1, card2, card3, but no card0. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Randall Smith
