[aclug-L] Video Card Support

["Gary L Merrick" <scarabea@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't get Red Hat 5.2 to use my Video Card correctly. I had thought I'd
found the solution with the 3.3.3 version of Xwindows (XFree86) and it did
include my Diamond Speedstar A50, but no matter what setting I use it'll
come up with no text, scrambled graphics, virtual desktop and or any
combination there-of with Xconfigurator and XF86config, I can't even get
into XF86Setup. It appears also that the server is only seeing 1024 of my
cards 8mb's of RAM. I even downloaded the 2.2 Kernel and tried to compile
it, but when LILO reboots, it still shows Linux Ver 2.0.+ I really want to
switch over to Linux completely, but I'm glad I'm dual booting with Windows
98, because right now Linux is no good to me if I can't see any of the
graphical menus. I can't even edit any of the config files because I can't
see them in any Xwindows editors.

PLEASE help, I'd hate to have to dump Xwindows over a problem this silly,
it's got to be some little silly thing that I'm missing.
