XFree86,Biostar M7VIG Motherboard, S3 Savage 4 video - problem
I have installed RedHat 7.3 on this configuration
Biostar M7VIG MotherBoard with S3 Savage 4 Integrated Video, AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 512MB Kingston PC2100 DDR Ram, USB MS optical mouse, MS Inet Keyboard, 52X ASUS ATAPI CD-ROM, 40 GB Seagate harddrive and Panasonic 1.44 FDD.
Everything went fine until I tried to start up X. It will not start. I am using XFree86 Version 4.2.0 released January 23, 2002.
The message from the command XFree86 -configure indicated that I should send the output from scanpci -v to the XFree86 support which I have done (something about finding a valid card coonfiguration but the appropriate data was not in xf86pciiInfo.h).
