Problem in installing Red Hat 9 in Graphical Mode


Dear All

I am a newbie to Linux and trying to install Red Hat Linux 9 but it isn't starting to install in graphical mode. It shows the following while installation :

Probing for video card : Unable to Probe
No Video Card Found
Assuming headless
Display Variable not set
Starting in text mode.

I already have Windows 2000 and Windows XP installed at my PC and they are working fine.
My configuration is :
P4 processor
Intel 850 motherboard
128 RAM
40 GB hard disk
SiS Graphics Card

Can anybody please help in rectifying the problem.

Thanks in advance

It seems like Redhat 9 is having problems with your graphics card. Try a newer distro such as Fedora Core which you can get from fedora.redhat.com.
