Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me because I'm about to lose my mind. I just bit the bulet and scrapped Windows completely, and installed a new drive and installed Red Hat 9. I'm slowly forcing myself to use Linux, hopefully for good. But I'm mgetting VERY discouraged with the video. I'm running on a P4-1.7ghz with 256mb of ram. All is working well except my X session keeps either 1) freezing so I have to hit CTRL-ALT-BKSPC to restart the X session, or 2) the X session locks hard so I have to reset the PC. Looking in Google on this, it seems everyone in the world who's posted about this has an ATI card. And you guessed it, so do I. I have the Radeon 9600 Pro. I tried using the ATI driver and was having the same troubles. So now I've uninstalled it and am just using the VESA driver, 1024x768, 256 color as a test. It's STILL locking up every few minutes! When checking with ATI on this, they say to contact xfree86. Here's the tail of my XFree86 log. The main things I see as being a problem are VBESetVBEMode failed and the X message about being rejected from local host. I'm basically a newbie when it comes to this. Can anyone give me some direction? Thanks!
