The basic setup is a Pentium-III Linux system that started with RedHat 6.2 patched with the FSM Labs GPL-version of Real-Time Linux installed from the FSM-labs installation CD-ROM. We've used it many times on several diverse systems, both desktop PCs and Single Board Computer (SBC)-based rackmount boxes with essentially no problems at all. On this particular box we had installed the system and had it running fine, then changed the SBC. Of course, the VGA chipset changed as well so we had to install the SBC-manufacturer's VGA driver and use Xconfigurator to modify the old configuration to the new system. The result is that we can successfully start the system into run-state 3 (text mode) and then login and issue a `startx` command from a text console to get the X-Window system running just fine. When we do, the output on the text console is insmod: a module named agpgart already exists XFCom_i810 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: May 19 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
