Hi,
I have been trying to figure out why this card will not work with X for me.
I have tried to use Xconfigurator, and editing the XF86Config(-4) file, but
have not had any success.
My hardware is a Intel P4 1750 MHz, Asus P4T, 256 Mb of ram, Adeptec 29160
SCSI 160 card, SB live card, netgear FA311 10/100 NIC, IBM 18 Gb scsi HD,
yamaha scsi CD-Rom, and a Gateway VX900. (most of this probably does not
pertain, but rather to much info than not enough)
I have Fresh install of Redhat 7.1 with all the updates that RH provides. my
kernel is 2.4.3-12, Xfree86 Version 4.0.3, and the kernel has the agp, r128
etc compiled in.
The graphical installer worked ok, but the video card did not get detected.
I used Xconfigurator and it did not detect it, but it did detect the
monitor! I selected the card from the list, and it still would not work.
I have noticed that there is a 4.1.0 version of Xfree is out now, but there
is no rpm available. If some one can say if this works, i will d/l it and
compile it.
Please help, I have a lot of computer here and need to get X runing ASAP.

newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
