Hi, I recently install 
RED HAT Linux 9 on a pc (Pentium 4)
with a graphic card SiS 650...
I use gnome inferface..
But unfortunetly seems that the original package
didnīt have the drivers for that specific card, so
I went to this site, in order to find some useful information..
I have download the last version of Xfree86 (4.3.0) and install it.
But when I go to configure the screen seems that they arenīt new additions
of graphics cards (SiS 650 is not there, and the version 4.3.0 of xfree86 says that 
supports this card), 
I only try to download the minimum files required for Xfree86... do i need some more?

Another question is about Independent Driver Releases, I have also download the 
sis_drv.o
file and placed in the specific directory that overwrite the previous file... But I 
donīt know
if is only need this operation... (seems that only this didnīt solve the problem). 
I donīt understand what you mean "And use the new 'XFree86' binary, 
which should be replaced with the 'XFree86' executable that's in /usr/X11R6/bin"
and if I need also to download the DRI Kernel modules and follow the command "make -f 
Makefile.linux"  ...


If possible, please me a step by step tutorial in order to solve this problem.. Iīm 
currently using VESA driver...
I need to put the screen resolution in 1024x768 and play some applications/games 
that required some specific graphics hardware contact... 




Thanks, Reply me soon.
