OK, I'm a newbie here, so please be nice...

I'm sort of new to Linux, So I have a Couple of questions.

Background:

I have just installed redhat linux 9
I have an AMD Athlon 1.0 GHz
I have an ATI radeon All-In-Wonder 9000 (On AGP Slot)

The Questions:

1.) When I try to start x windows I get an error to the effect:

cannot start x windows
no screens
cannot find ati redeon 9000 on pci

how can I fix this?

2.) If I have upgrade the driver, How do I install the RPM in command prompt mode?

3.) if I have to edit a file, Which one?


Please help

1. Its most likely not detecting the correct card. Did you configure this during the initial installation?

2. You simply use the RPM command.. something like this: rpm -i <filename>

3. Most likely your XF86Config-4 file is the configuration file for X.

Try upgrade drivers fro ati website. For installing them probably you will need to force installation, so:

1.- log as root
2.- rpm -ihv --force packet_name.rpm
3.- run fglrxconfig (will ask you some questions to answer yes/no and X config file will be written)

Hope it helps

It didn't work... I installed the new driver/rpm, ran the config, but nothing....

any more Ideas?


here's my log file
