Linux newbie here. I just intalled Red Hat 7.2 and am having problems with the video.

I don't know if anyone can help me, as this seems very system specific, but here goes:

I installed as a dual boot with win98 on a Gateway G6-333c. The install went fine, just a problem with X. I can't get a graphical login, so I tried some different settings using Xconfigurator with no further luck.

The problem seems to be with locating the correct video drivers. The motherboard is an Anigma Pentium II w/ Integrated AGP/Audio/DVD. The only thing I could find out about the video is that it was manufactured by Chromatic Research, Inc. It is a MPACT-2 Media Processor and has 4MB of RDRAM.

Of course, there is no listing in Red Hat for this type of graphics processor. So I chose "Unlisted" to no avail. My monitor is listed (Gateway EV700) so that seems to be fine.

If anyone has a resolution, or suggestion, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks.

I guess the problem is with ur video memory.. 4mb is dobtfull to work on rh 7.2 X. 1 of my friends has the problem with a sis 6215 card. i guess the video ram must be the culprit !

If the video is integrated on board than it can be configured to use some of your main System RAM as Video RAM.

Check your BIOS settings to see if you can increase the System RAM used for Video.
