The Radeon 9600 is not supported at all by XFree86 4.3.0. Your log indicates that you've previously had an Nvidia card installed in your system and have installed Nvidia's proprietary drivers. Parts of your config file still refer to these drivers. Also, the Nvidia installer overwrites modules supplied by the OS, and are in conflict with using other hardware. Please reinstall XFree86 as supplied by Red Hat, then run: redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig After that you will have the files supplied by Red Hat. You can get working 2D by editing the config file and overriding the chipID. That is 2D only, and unsupported. In order to get working 3D, you'll have to download and install ATI's proprietary video drivers from their website, and reconfigure X to use them as per ATI's instructions. Hope this helps. -- Mike A. Harris _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
