Hi, I just installed redhat 9 (regular desktop mode) and I cant get X server to work.  I am running on a custom built computer that includes an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro AGP card, Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, a 80 gb hard drive (hdc), another 160 gb hard drive (hdd), sony dru-510a dvd/cd +/- r/rw (hda), and a lite-on cd-rw (hdb), and I am using an old NEC A700 monitor.

I primarily use the first hard drive (hdc), I use its first partition for windows XP Pro and I used its last partition to install RH9 on.  I've added a picture (17.1 kb) of my partitioning program to give you an idea of what my partitions look like.

When I took a look at /var/log/Xfree86.0.log, these are the following errors that I received...

(WW) RADEON:  no matching device section for instance (BUSID PCI:3:0:1) found
(EE) RADEON(0):  no valid mode found for this DFP/LCD
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

Fatal Server Error:
no screens found

I would have added what my /etc/X11/XF86Config file says, but I dont know how to copy the file onto my floppy disk drive so that I can look at it through windows.  I HAVE emacs'ed it successfully though.

I have tried everything that I found online including
XFree86 -configure
XFree86 -config
redhat-config-xfree86
redhat-config-xfree86 reconfig

none of those have worked for me, what now??

If anybody has any ideas of what I should do next, please explain the process thoroughly because I dont know anything at all about linux.

Thanks in advance
