All, Just installed RedHat 8.0 with the graphical install option, and at the completion of the install, the default config does not start xserver on my box. I did have RedHat 7.0 running on the h/w before I installed a fresh (clean) RH 8.0. Looks like XFree86 4.2.0 comes in the package, and there seems to be a driver loading issue, but I can't figure it out. I checked the docs on xfree86.org to ensure that the correct driver was being loaded, and it seemed correct (s3 for S3 Trio64V2). I have seen some answers to problems with my video card in newsgroups, and have made the adjustments (change Driver to s3virge, etc.). I've also tried the "XFree86 -configure;XFree86 -xf86config /root/XFree*.new" route, but I don't seem to be able to get this to work. Typically, I get a blank (black) screen, and I have to cold restart the sucker because I don't know how to fix it. Another symtom is that my mouse sometimes acts flaky during bootup....during the RedHat install, I lost control of the mouse about 1/2 through the install, and had to navigate the graphical install with Alt+hot keys. I see the pointer of the mouse, but it stays in the upper right corner of the screen...it will allow me to move it, but it jumps non-deterministically in wild directions, and than races for the upper left corner as soon as I quit moving it... Any help is appreciated. I really don't know what info to give, so I'll attach my error log, and config file. Pls be patient...if I'm not giving enough info, it's out of ignorance, not laziness...
