(See http://www.XFree86.Org/) > Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-11smp i686 [ELF] > Build Host: daffy.perf.redhat.com According to <http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/01/msg04732.html>, support for the i845 chipset was not available until near XFree86 4.3.0. It is very likely that Redhat 8.0 simply doesn't support your video card. In any case, Redhat 8.0 is very old and you should consider at least trying Redhat 9.0 or one of the latest Fedora Core releases. Fedora would be your best bet as it is free and updates are available (updates are no longer available for Redhat 8.0). Also, to get to the GUI from the console should only require Alt-F7. It's going to the console from the GUI that requires CTRL-ALT-F#. It is likely that Redhat uses standard VESA modes when installing, so that is why the GUI worked then. You could try editing the Driver line of the XF86Config file to say "Driver "vesa"" instead of "Driver "i810"", but you would not get any acceleration. Hope this helps. -Andy _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
