about my video card driver on dell lati c800


Hi All

I have a Dell Latitude c800 dual booting Windoze 2K and RedHat Linux 9.0,
with 128M RaM

My problem is with video performance in Linux.
The graphics card is an ATI Rage Mobility 128 .
When I install redhat9 to my laptop,the whole progress is Ok.
But when I reboot my laptop,the X windows can't appear.


---------------------------------------------------------------
use 'redhat-config-xfree86' it display£º

id:none
name :none
Horizsync :none
Vertsync :none

........

tying with card :Ati Rage 128 mobility
Error ,cannot start X server.

----------------------------------------------------------------
run redhat-config-packages in command line ,the following is displayed£º
unable to import gtk module. this may be due to running without
$display set . exception was:
could not open display
traceback(most recent call last):
file "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/mainwindow.py",
..sys.exit(0)
namerror:name 'sys' is not defined.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
