What video chip is on your card? My Diamond Stealth VRAM had the basic S3 chip. This chip is not supported in xfree86 4.2.0 that comes with Red hat 7.3. I had to install the card as "unlisted" and then pick the s3 server. Still a poor choice. I had much better luck after I replaced my video card with one of two that use video chips supported in xfree86 4.2.0. One card has the S3 ViRGE/EX chip and the other has an SIS chip that is supported. Look at www.xfree86.org . They list the chipsets supported by the various versions of XFree86.

I don't know what the problem is, I am completly knew to linux, and X, if you could please help me out here are some specifications I think you might need. Monitor: Prinston EO70 Vid. Card: Diamond Stealth VRAM Linux Version: Redhat 7 I couldn't figure out what the ram on the card is, but no matter what I set it too, it would always only come in half way, and be very big. By half way I mean that only the bottom half of X was visible, the top half was completely dark. I could access the menu etc. but still only see up to the edge of the black. Please CC: a reply to my personal address Ganven@yahoo.com as well as newbie@free86.org (if you feel necissary) scince I signed up for the digest version, and would like the help ASAP, and not tomorrow. Thank you very much. Brandon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
