X kills Radeon 9000 Pro


Hello.

I've been having a recurring problem ever since I upgraded my computer.

After trying countless things, like downloading the drivers from GATOS and even trying the XFree86 drivers; the X Server dies when I try to load them.

For example:
I set the RADEON (XFree86) drivers, log off to restart X, and there it shows a command prompt. It then flickers a few times, and a blue screen appears saying that it cannot load the X server. After looking through the quick explaination, in short, it cannot find my monitor; or, rather, can't find my video card.

I am using RedHat 8.0, XFree 4.3.0 (Upgraded), Radeon 9000 Pro Sapphire Atlantis, VIA KT400 Chipset, NEC Multisync 4FGe (connected to the VGA port, /Not/ the DVI port via the DVI-VGA adapter).

It appears to load the configuration files okay, but then fails to find any devices under the driver specification, and stops.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Lain
